Case Registered Over Social Media Threats to Kerala CM's Security Officer

A case has been registered by Thiruvananthapuram City Cyber Police over social media posts allegedly threatening Sandeep Sasidharan, a security officer of Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. The posts, reportedly by Congress, Youth Congress, and KSU activists, threatened consequences if the UDF comes to power after the April 9 state assembly election. The officers had previously been accused by Congress of assaulting activists in 2023 but were cleared after a Crime Branch probe. Police have identified several Facebook accounts linked to the threats and will summon the account holders for investigation.
