Police foisting false charges, says DYFI

The Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) district secretariat has protested against the police foisting what they claimed as false charges on its workers who had on November 27 taken out a march to the office of the Nadapuram Deputy Superintendent of Police (Dy.SP) demanding the suspension of Thamarassery Dy.SP Jaison K. Abraham for interfering in the case of sexual assault of a four-year-old girl at an English Medium School at Parakkadavu here.

DYFI secretary N. Rajesh said here on Thursday that the activists had taken out a peaceful march on the day. However, some workers belonging to the Indian Union Muslim League pelted stones from a building in front of the police station at the march. This had led to some commotion and it was the DYFI leaders who had resolved the issue, he said.

However, the police registered a case against DYFI Nadapuram block secretary K.P. Pradeesh and 15 others under Sections of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act. But they failed to arrest the Perod Abdurahman Saqafi of the Sirajul Huda Educational Complex, for making derogatory remarks against the victim. The government wanted to sabotage the case by handing over the probe to the Crime Branch.
