Ruckus on CM Pinarayi Vijayan’s flight: Kerala Youth Congress vice-president arrested

Kerala Police Tuesday arrested Youth Congress state vice-president and former legislator K S Sabarinadhan in connection with last month’s protest by the youth wing of the Congress party against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on board a flight.

The police had issued a summons to Sabarinadhan to appear on Tuesday in connection with the probe into the alleged conspiracy behind the in-flight protest reported in June. The police issued the summons to the former Congress MLA based on a WhatsApp chat in which he had suggested waving black flags at the chief minister on the flight.

As per the summons issued under section 160 of CrPC, Sabarinadhan had appeared before the assistant commissioner of police as part of the probe.
