Alleged lapses in preparing custody application of protesting Congress activists in Aluva
Two police officers of the Aluva East station were placed under suspension on Sunday for alleged lapses in preparing a custody application of Congress activists who had been arrested for protesting in front of the station. They had demanded the suspension of Circle Inspector C.L. Sudheer of the station, whose name was mentioned in the note left behind by a young law graduate who allegedly ended her life citing domestic violence.
The suspension of Sub Inspector Vinod and Grade Sub Inspector Rajesh follows a report filed before the court seeking a probe into the possible extremist links of the activists. The alleged action of the two officers had invited widespread criticism, following which the Aluva DySP was deputed to conduct an inquiry and submit a report. The suspension order was issued based on the report.
Aluva MLA Anwar Sadath had alleged that the arrested youths were responsible citizens, and that terming Congress workers as having extremist links was serious and unacceptable.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
