In-flight protest against CM Vijayan, Kerala Youth Congress VP gets bail

Kerala Youth Congress vice president KS Sabarinadhan got bail in connection with the alleged protest against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan inside a flight.

Trivandrum Principal Sessions Court has granted bail to the leader on conditions.

Earlier on Tuesday, Sabarinadhan appeared before Assistant Commissioner of Police Sanghumugham at 10 am in connection with the alleged protest case.

The remand report submitted before the Trivandrum Principal Session Court said that Sabarinadhan contacted the accused at least five times over the phone on June 13 2022.

It was said that the what's app chat of Sabarinadhan showed that Sabarinadhan has sent a what's app message stating that it would be good if someone come on the flight and protested.

All four accused conspired with intention of attacking the Chief Minister. Police have objected to his bail plea and said that his mobile phone and other electronic equipment need to be seized.

All four accused need to be questioned together, it added.

After getting bail, Youth Congress spoke to the media and said, "The sections of the attempt of murder and conspiracy have been charged against him who protested peacefully and legally here."

He said he will continue to protest against Chief Minister in the gold smuggling case.
