The Kerala Police on Tuesday arrested Youth Congress state vice president and former MLA K S Sabarinadhan on charges of conspiracy and attempt to murder in connection with last month’s Youth Congress workers raising slogan against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on board a flight. Later in the night, a sessions court here granted bail to Sabarinadhan even though the police sought his custody.
In response to the arrest, YC state president Shafi Parambil MLA called the CM a “coward”.
The police had issued a summons to Sabarinadhan to appear on Tuesday in connection with a WhatsApp chat where he suggested waving black flags at the chief minister on a flight. His message read, “CM is coming to Thiruvananthapuram by flight from Kannur.
