Friday, October 14, 2011: Opposition leader VS Achuthanandhan on Friday termed the report by the DGP Jacob Punnoose on the Kozhikode firing as fraud. The report justifies Oomen Chandy and the govt. VS added that the people and the striking agitators will discard the report.
VS was talking to mediapersons after visiting the SFI leaders in the jail in Kozhikode.
DGP Jacob Punnoose on Thursday had submitted the report on police firing on SFI activists in Kozhikode to the chief minister. It stated that the DGP had justified the firing by ACP Radhakrishna Pillai and said ACP had fired when the agitators went out of control and to calm down the situation.
Radhakrishna Pillai opened fire on protesting SFI activists at Kozhikode Govt. engineering college to bring the situation under control, DGP said.
