The Story in Brief
An SFI activist accused of attacking Enforcement Directorate officials in Kerala was detained at Chennai airport on Monday after arriving from Dubai, police said. The activist, identified as Adarsh, a member of the SFI Chala area committee, had left for Dubai soon after the May 27 incident, prompting a lookout circular.
The ED had searched the rented house of former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan as part of a money-laundering probe linked to his daughter's firm. As ED officials left, a mob attacked their vehicles, injuring a driver, a CRPF officer, and a search team member. Police have registered a case against around 300 CPI(M), DYFI, and SFI activists.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that Kerala's ruling party protects its workers from the law takes a hit with this airport arrest. But the real test will be how swiftly the courts process the case. Many similar attacks on central agency staff have resulted in prolonged bail and slow trials. Will this activist see conviction, or will the matter fade like others before it?
