Tuesday,
March 13, 2012: The police move to register cases against a large number of
women for offering Pongala on the road in Thiruvananthapuram has landed the UDF
government in a highly embarrassing position.
The
police had registered a suo motu case against the women as perthe Kerala High Court directive
imposing a ban on wayside meetings. The case was registered for creating a road
block and restricting free movement.
The
Opposition alleged hat this could not have happened without the ‘silent
permission’ of the Chief Minister and the State Police Chief. Meanwhile the
Thiruvananthapuram Deputy Commissioner of Police- VC Mohanan has been suspended
pending enquiry for registering case against women who took part in the Attukal
pongala.
The
police had registered a suo motu case against around 10,000 women for creating
a road block and restricting free movement during the famous Attukal pongala festival held
on March 7.
DCP
was sacked following the report submitted by Additional chief secretary K
Jayakumar and as per the direction of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy. Chief
Minister also informed that the suo motu case registered against the women has
been withdrawn and First Information Report (FIR) has been quashed.
