Case against CM’s gunman: Court rejects clean chit by police, orders further probe

The Alappuzha Magistrate Court rejected the police’s report dismissing allegations of assault by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s gunman during a protest. The court ordered further investigation in response to a petition filed by Youth Congress State Secretary. The incident occurred during a protest against the Chief Minister’s event, with the gunman and security officer accused of attacking activists. The police report claimed no assault occurred, but the complainants argued they were assaulted after the Chief Minister had passed. The court’s decision highlights the need for a thorough investigation into the matter.
