Sabarimala Protest Cases: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the government had already issued orders in February this year to take necessary action to withdraw cases that were "not of serious criminal nature" in connection with the incidents.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan today said instructions would be given to complete the government level procedures at the earliest to withdraw police cases registered during the Sabarimala and anti-CAA protests in the state.
He said the government had already issued orders in February this year to take necessary action to withdraw cases that were "not of serious criminal nature" in connection with the incidents.
Based on the order, the state DGP - the senior-most police officer - had directed the district collectors and district police chiefs to look into the nature and present status of each such case registered in their respective areas, Mr Vijayan told the state Assembly.
A panel, comprising Crime Branch IG and the superintends of the Special Cell and the State Crime Records Bureau (SCRB), has been set up to collect information related to such cases and examine its nature and status.
