Thiruvananthapuram: Decided to register case based on KT Jalil’s complaint dream Suresh had a knee-jerk reaction to come up with a face-saving defense. Police sources said IPC Section 153, which was charged in the case, would not do well as it relates purely to incitement to riots, which would in no way be applicable in this case.
“This is an extreme case of misuse of the system. The allegations leveled against the Chief Minister by the accused of smuggling gold are part of his statement under section 164 of CrPC, which is a matter under consideration of the court. Also, on the basis of what he said The opposition is only protesting, which is legally allowed in a democratic set-up. Even allegations of defamation will not be fair, let alone allegations of rioting.”
Experts also say that only in the extreme imagination of fiction, such statements can be interpreted as incitement to riots. “If it can be charged under section 153 of IPC, then all the political protests taking place in the state so far can be interpreted as incitement to riots. This case can be used to file a defamation case in court. , and not even a police complaint,” said the former crime branch chief Vinson M Paul, Regarding forcibly taking the Vigilance team sarith in custody from PalakkadHe said the vigilance action was unwarranted from the facts available in the public domain.
“The vigilance case is not something that should have been dealt with like a criminal case. From the information that has come out through media reports, the vigilance action seems to be illegal,” he said.
