THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Thiruvananthapuram Cantonment police has lodged three fresh cases against Youth Congress state president Rahul Mamkoottathil for his involvement in a protest march to the Secretariat held on December 20 that turned violent last month.
The three fresh cases that were charged against Rahul include unleashing violence by the Youth Congress activists and destroying police vehicles. While the Cantonment Police charged two cases, a third case was taken up by the Museum Police connected with the DGP Office march.
The Police charged the fresh three cases at a time when Rahul's bail application is scheduled to be considered on Wednesday.
Currently held at Poojappura Central prison, Mamkootathil, however, managed to get bail on two cases related to the march. He was brought before Judicial First Class Magistrate Court-3 for the remand proceedings about the three new cases. The court had previously issued a production warrant in response to the police arrest.
Rahul was arrested on January 9 which saw the Cantonment Police cornering his home at Adoor and arresting him forcefully while he was asleep.
