Court Denies Bail to CPI(M) Activists Accused in ED Attack Case
The Thiruvananthapuram District and Sessions Court rejected bail applications of nine CPI(M) activists accused of attacking Enforcement Directorate officials during a raid at Leader of Opposition Pinarayi Vijayan's residence. The prosecution argued ongoing investigations could reveal a wider conspiracy involving senior party leaders, with call records under review. The ED opposed bail, citing the seriousness of the attack. Additionally, an accused former councillor has filed a petition to attend to a critically ill family member, with the court set to decide soon.
