Thiruvambady Devaswom welcomes rejection of Crime Branch probe report on Thrissur Pooram disruption
Devaswom had sought a fresh probe; Secretary Girish Kumar alleges conspiracy behind disruptions
The Thiruvambady Devaswom has welcomed the State government's decision to reject the Crime Branch report on the disruption of the Thrissur Pooram festival. Devaswom secretary K. Girish Kumar alleged that the investigation had failed to examine the conspiracy behind the incidents, citing instances such as the closure of the exhibition pavilion and attempts to prevent umbrellas from being brought to the venue.
He questioned the suggestion that the Devaswoms could have deliberately disrupted the festival, pointing out their significant expenditure on police security arrangements. The Home Minister has directed the State Police Chief to submit a fresh report following the rejection of the previous investigation report due to lack of clarity in its findings.
