Overview

  • Speaker A. N. Shamseer ruled the UDF’s Rule 50 adjournment notice lacked the urgency and gravity required for an immediate debate, saying the issue could be raised as a submission instead.
  • UDF legislators protested, accused the government of shielding the accused, boycotted proceedings, and the House was adjourned for the day with a resumption announced for October 6.
  • Peramangalam police registered an FIR on September 28 citing Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Sections 192, 353, and 351(2) after reviewing a viral television clip.
  • The complaint was filed by KPCC secretary Sreekumar C. C., and the accused is identified in reports as BJP commentator Printu Mahadevan, who allegedly said bullets would be fired at Rahul Gandhi during a September 26 TV debate.
  • Law Minister P. Rajeeve defended the police timeline, saying digital evidence was collected before the FIR and criticizing the Opposition for taking up the issue days later.
