Vadakara: DCC President K. Praveen Kumar filed a private complaint to the Vadakara Judicial First Class Magistrate Court demanding that a case should be filed and investigation launched against the Kuttoth house owner who harbored forgery case accused Vidya. Accepting the file, the court adjourned the case to 2 August to record Praveen Kumar’s statement.

The case has been filed against Raghavan, a Kuttoth Villiappally native. The remand report submitted to the court by the Agali police clarifies that Vidya was indeed arrested from this house. 

Praveen Kumar argued in the petition that legal proceedings should be carried out against Raghavan who deliberately and illegally harbored the accused involved in a prominent case. In this regard, Praveen Kumar had earlier made a complaint to the Kozhikode rural SP. 

He approached the court as there was no further action taken by the SP. The petitioner highlighted that Raghavan had committed a punishable offense as per Indian Penal code sections 346, 343 and 34. The petition was submitted through Adv. M.K Sadanandan. 

Certificate forgery case: Charge sheet due this month

Agali: Agali police will submit the charge sheet in the forgery case against former SFI leader K Vidya this month. Based on the evidence obtained during the investigation focused on Vidya’s mobile phone and a print out of the fake certificate taken by the accused, further investigation will be continued. 

The renewed probe is focused around Kasaragod Karindalam Govt. college and an Akshaya e-centre near Vidya’s Trikaripur home. There will also be a Vadakara-centered investigation. Four days ago, Agali police had come to the establishment in Palarivattom, Ernakulam from where Vidya had printed out the forged certificates.

This establishment was discovered after an examination of Vidya’s emails. Since numerous students visit the establishment to print their certificates and dissertations, the owner stated that he couldn’t remember Vidya.
