THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Leader of Opposition in Kerala Assembly V.D. Satheesan on Friday demanded that Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan apologise to the people for failing to act on a complaint received in 2024 regarding the alleged brutal assault of a pregnant woman and her family by police personnel.
Satheesan said the Chief Minister, who also holds the Home portfolio, had been aware of the incident but chose not to take any action at the time, allowing the matter to be suppressed.
“If the Chief Minister knew and did nothing, it is a grave failure. If he did not know, then what is the purpose of occupying that office?” he asked.
The Opposition leader said the incident once again exposed what he described as the “true face” of the Kerala Police under the Pinarayi Vijayan government.
