Earlier on September 2, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had assured that there would be an investigation without any prejudice following Nilambur MLA P V Anvar's allegations against senior police officers. Left-backed independent MLA, PV Anwar had raised serious allegations against Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's political secretary P Sasi and ADGP law and order M R Ajith Kumar and Pathanamthitta SP Sujit Das.
He claimed that CM's political secretary and ADGP breached the trust of the CM and they failed to deliver their responsibilities honestly. PV Anvar also claimed that he was doing a sting operation to bring out the conspiracy against the government. He further alleged that with ADGP's knowledge, non-bailable offences were slapped against many CPI(M) workers who prevented a set of politically motivated YouTubers from disrupting CM's Navkerala Sadas, a public outreach programme at Arikode in Malappuram in November last year.
