The Valiathura police on Wednesday booked Left Democratic Front (LDF) convener E.P. Jayarajan for attempted murder, criminal conspiracy and criminal intimidation in connection with the alleged assault on two Youth Congress workers who protested against Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on board the Indigo flight that landed in Thiruvananthapuram from Kannur on June 13.
The police named Mr. Vijayan's security officer Anil Kumar and his aide-de-camp V.M. Sunish co-accused in the case.
Judicial First Class Magistrate-II Leny Thomas had issued the directive based on a complaint filed by the Youth Congress protesters Farseen Majeed, Naveen Kumar and Sunit Narayanan. The police had arrested the activists earlier on the charge of imperiling Mr. Vijayan.
