Kerala Police Officer Suspended for Sharing Communal Social Media Post
Idukki District Police Chief A. Naseem suspended Grade Sub-Inspector K. Vijesh for sharing a social media post with communal remarks targeting Muslims.

Following a complaint by the Muslim Youth League and an inquiry report, the suspension was ordered pending a departmental investigation led by the Munnar DySP.
