Serious allegations have been leveled against the police following the suicide of law student Mofia Parveen. The Chief Minister, who is in charge of the Home Department, was also criticized. It was in this context that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan sought an explanation directly from Ernakulam Rural SP K Karthik regarding the suicide of Mofia and its aftermath. Pinarayi Vijayan sought information when he arrived at the Aluva Gazette House for the CPI (M) Ernakulam district convention.
The SP told the CM about the suicide of Mofia and the legal action taken by the police in this regard. He also explained the action taken against the fallen officers. The SP also clarified the circumstances under which the remand report came up to probe whether the accused had any terrorist links. The CM said that the police should be more vigilant in such matters.
Criticism of the police is likely to rise over Mofia’s death at the CPI (M) Ernakulam district conference. In this context, the fact that the Chief Minister sought an explanation directly from the SP is also politically significant.
