CPI(M) Leaders Granted Bail in Alleged Bank Election Clash Case

The Hindu · india

The Kozhikode Principal Sessions Court has granted bail to CPI(M) leaders M. Girish and C.P. Jaleel. They were arrested last month in connection with a clash during the Chevayur Cooperative Bank election. The case involved charges of an alleged attempt to cause death, stemming from a complaint by a Congress leader. The CPI(M) claims the case is politically motivated, citing an earlier police inquiry that found no factual basis for the allegations. Congress leaders, however, allege their workers were attacked during the incident.
