Thiruvananthapuram: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan justified the police action of arresting deceased student Jishnu Pranoy’s mother Mahija during a protest by his family in front of the state police headquarters.
The CM said that six family members of Jishnu were allowed to meet the DGP, but some BJP and SUCI party members who were with them created trouble. This caused the police to interfere and block the protest party, he added.
The CM also said that the police took Mahija, who had fallen down on the road and resisted arrest, to the hospital and that the DGP visited her. The DGP also agreed to hold talks with Jishnu’s family.
