Sasikala, others booked over DYFI leader’s complaint
The accused reportedly circulated a video of the complainant and her friends, captioning it “MDMA comrades” and adding provocative remarks
Ernakulam Central police have registered a criminal case against K.P. Sasikala, leader of the Hindu Aikya Vedi, and unidentified individuals associated with the Congress and BJP. The accusation stems from the dissemination of a video allegedly capturing a lawyer and her companions, but which actually depicts teachers arrested during a drug case. The complaint was lodged by lawyer Maneesha Radhakrishnan, representing the Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) district vice-president.
According to the first information report, the accused shared the video with the caption "MDMA comrades" and accompanied it with inflammatory comments. The case was registered under Section 192 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which pertains to giving provocation with the intent to incite a riot. CPI(M) district secretary S. Sathish expressed outrage over the alleged cyber attack, labeling it as an attempt to target women in positions of public life.
The All India Lawyers Union Ernakulam district committee also called for swift action by the police to identify and apprehend the accused.
