Kerala Police Book MP Shafi Parambil, Hundreds of Congress Workers After Perambra Clashes

Congress plans to move the Lok Sabha Privileges Committee alleging police excesses.

Overview

  • An FIR under BNS sections 189, 191, 285, 121 and 132 names Parambil along with roughly 600–700 Congress workers following a UDF rally in Perambra.
  • The confrontation began when UDF and LDF marches converged near the Perambra bus stand after a hartal linked to a CKGM Government College union election dispute.
  • Police used lathi-charge and tear gas to disperse the crowds, Parambil suffered facial injuries, and doctors performed surgery for nasal fractures.
  • Kozhikode police allege UDF activists blocked roads and threw stones, reporting about ten injured personnel, while Congress leaders call the action politically motivated.
