Shafi Parambil Files Privileges Complaint Naming Kerala Police Officers Over Perambra Injury

Opposition leaders allege a planned attack with procedural violations.

Overview

  • On October 13, Congress MP Shafi Parambil lodged a complaint with the Lok Sabha Speaker and the Privileges Committee seeking action against officers he says directed or took part in an assault.
  • The complaint names District Police Chief K. E. Baiju, Perambra Dy. SP N. Sunil Kumar, and Vadakara Dy. SP Hariprasad, among others.
  • Parambil sustained a nasal bone fracture during the October 10 protest in Perambra and underwent surgery shortly afterward.
  • Leader of the Opposition V. D. Satheesan alleges the assault was deliberate and part of a planned conspiracy, urging a thorough inquiry and action against senior officials.
  • Satheesan also accuses a senior officer of improperly throwing a crowd‑control grenade that struck a Congress activist, while police statements about a lathi‑charge have been inconsistent and no independent findings have been announced.
