Pinarayi Visits Injured Student Protestors, Condemns Police Raj

Keralam Leader of Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday visited SFI state secretary PS Sanjeev at a hospital after he was injured during Wednesday's Secretariat march. Vijayan alleged that Sanjeev was brutally lathicharged and had injured his vital parts.

The former CM slammed the police action calling it "police raj". Speaking after the visit, Vijayan told reporters, "He has suffered injuries all over his body. He was beaten with lathis, deliberately targeting vital parts, and the assault was so severe that he was unable to speak



properly immediately afterwards.”

"But he was not the only one who was assaulted. The previous day, male police personnel brutally attacked female students. One student was beaten on the face and was left bleeding. Another was struck on the back of her head and collapsed unconscious. 

The police are not unaware of the consequences of such blows. This shows how brutally the protesters were treated," he alleged. He further alleged widespread unjustified arrests and invocation of serious provisions against protesters.
