SFI alleges police vendetta after leaders handcuffed in court
The SFI leadership has alleged that the police action was contrary to the State Police Chief’s guidelines and questioned the need to handcuff the two student leaders.
The Students’ Federation of India (SFI) has accused the police of carrying out a vendetta against its leaders, alleging that two SFI members were improperly handcuffed while being produced in court. SFI central committee member S.K. Adarsh and district secretariat member Manesh were handcuffed and brought before the Vanchiyoor District Court in connection with cases related to a recent Secretariat march.
The SFI leadership has expressed concern that the police action contravenes State Police Chief’s guidelines and questioned the necessity of handcuffing the student leaders. SFI state secretary P.S. Sanjeev suggested that the arrests are part of a wider strategy by the State government and police to target the organisation ahead of upcoming college, university, polytechnic, and school union elections.
