KPCC appoints 3-member panel to examine scuffle involving Keralam MLA Ramya Haridas
The committee, led by former KPCC president M.M. Hassan, will report its findings soon.
On September 5, 2026, Chirayinkeezhu police in Thiruvananthapuram, Keralam registered criminal cases against Congress MLA Ramya Haridas and 15 of her workers following a violent altercation. The confrontations occurred after Ms. Haridas posted a WhatsApp message, leading to accusations from both sides. Seven of the 15 workers were named by the MLA herself under the law for atrocities, while another case was filed against her by Congress worker Sajad, who claimed the MLA and her team had threatened him.
The MLA's team, including Sajith Muttambalam and Sajad, stated that the MLA confronted them over the WhatsApp post, resulting in a scuffle. Ms. Haridas was admitted to a hospital and later discharged, while the incident footage shows her slapping a Congress leader and activists holding her hand. The dispute is centered around the participation of Ms. Haridas's staff member, Palayam Pradeep, in a block panchayat committee meeting.
