Kerala DGP's appointment unleashes political storm
Ravada Chandrasekhar’s appointment as Kerala’s new DGP has triggered political controversy over his alleged role in the 1994 Koothuparamba police firing that killed five DYFI activists. Though exonerated by courts, emotional scars remain, especially in CPI(M) strongholds like Kannur. Opposition parties question the appointment, alleging political collusion and sidelining of senior officers.
