The Story in Brief
A former physical education instructor, Keerthana, has denied involvement in an alleged MDMA network after the Vadakara NDPS Court remanded her to police custody until 5 pm on Friday. She told the media that she is a mother and teacher, and that her bank accounts are overdrawn, with loan repayments overdue. Keerthana was arrested in Vadakara and is from Maruthonkara.
Police maintain that the case rests on concrete evidence. Investigators say buyers transferred money to teachers’ bank accounts to purchase MDMA. They have identified a 22-year-old Wayanad man as a suspected key supplier across Kannur, Kozhikode and Wayanad, and say financial links connect him to those arrested. Delivery agent Jijil Kuriakose was the latest arrest.
The Indian Opinion
The competing claims need careful handling. A negative bank balance does not disprove a drug charge, but neither does a money transfer alone establish trafficking without context, ownership and intent. Public discussion should avoid treating a teacher’s profession as proof of innocence or police allegations as a conviction. The case will turn on the transaction records, seized material and the court’s assessment of the evidence.
