The Thiruvananthapuram City police on Saturday registered a case against Thiruvananthapuram Mayor Arya Rajendran, K.M. Sachin Dev, MLA, and three others in connection with their confrontation with Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) empanelled driver H.L. Yadhu.
A first information report (FIR) was registered on the basis of a complaint by Baiju Noel, a Kochi-based advocate, during the late hours of the day. The five accused persons have been booked under bailable provisions including Sections 141 (unlawful assembly), 268 (public nuisance), 283 (causing obstruction to a person in a public place) and 341 (wrongful assembly) of the Indian Penal Code, and Section 201 (causing obstruction to free flow of traffic) of the Motor Vehicle Act.
The development also came shortly after Mr. Yadhu moved the Thiruvananthapuram Judicial First Class Magistrate Court III, seeking a case be registered against the five persons. The complainant accused the Cantonment police of refusing to register a case on his complaint. The court accepted the petition and is slated to consider on Monday.
