Kannur: Accused in gold smuggling and quotation cases, Akash Thillankeri, has been booked under the Kerala Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act (KAAPA) and arrested. Thillankeri was arrested by the Muzhakkunnu police.
Akash’s friend Jijo was also booked under KAAPA and arrested. Akash is accused of making inciting speeches and insulting womanhood.
Akash was arrested as per a special order issued by the district collector. The district collector issued the order according to the recommendation of the police chief.
He is the first accused in the Shuhaib murder case. Akash was granted bail in the case on the grounds that he should not get involved in other cases. He was, however, accused in a case related to insulting a DYFI woman leader.
The court had directed Akash to appear before it on Tuesday. The court will consider the petition submitted by the prosecution seeking to cancel Akash's bail on the grounds that he violated bail conditions.
