Alleged clash during bank election: CPI(M) leaders get bail
M. Girish and C.P. Jaleel were arrested in a case registered over a clash that occurred around two-and-a-half years ago on the day of the Chevayur Cooperative Bank election
In a bank election election-related incident, Communist Party of India (Marxist) leaders M. Girish and C.P. Jaleel were granted bail by the Kozhikode Principal Sessions Court, according to local reports. The two were arrested last month on charges of attempting to cause death, following a complaint filed by a Congress leader. The CPI(M) dismissed the allegations as false and politically motivated, asserting that an earlier police inquiry found no factual basis for the incident that occurred around two-and-a-half years ago.
Congress leaders, on the other hand, claimed their workers were attacked during the clash and alleged an undue delay in arresting the suspects.
