The Alappuzha South police on Monday registered a case against Popular Front of India (PFI) leader Yahya Thangal for lampooning judges of the Kerala High Court.
The police, who arrested the Thangal on Sunday in connection with a case related to the chanting of provocative slogans at a PFI rally held in Alappuzha on May 21, registered another case after he made derogatory remarks about the judiciary during a march organised by the PFI to the office of the Alappuzha District Police Chief last week in protest against the arrest of outfit's leaders in the sloganeering case.
A local court here on Monday remanded the Thangal in judicial custody in the sloganeering case. The Thangal, a PFI State committee member, was one of the organisers of the PFI rally where a boy chanted incendiary slogans apparently targeting other religions. Officials said that his arrest in the second case had been recorded.
