In the complaint, the woman has alleged that a person identified as Thomas Chittooparamban had approached her directly and threatened to endanger the lives of her son and brother because of the bishop’s arrest.
The complaint also mentions about another accomplice of the bishop, identified as Unni Chittooparamban, who had shot her photograph during the public protest at the High Court Junction.
