Statements of Divya Unni and Sijoy Varghese will be recorded over MLA’s accident

KOCHI: Actress Divya Unni and Sijoy Varghese will be summoned to record their statements in the incident where MLA Uma Thomas was injured after falling from the stage. The main details of the function will be sought from them. The investigation team is gathering information after questioning more in connection with the programme. The dance programme to enter the Guinness World Records was held in Kaloor under the guidance of Divya Unni.

The investigation team is likely to summon Divya Unni and record her statement. Sijoy Varghese was in charge of organizing the dance programme. The police have asked many to appear at the station in connection with the incident. Three people have been arrested so far in the incident. Their grilling is continuing. Two have approached the high court with an anticipatory bail plea.

The mega dance event attended by VIPs including a minister and an MLA and more than 15,000 people, was organized at the Kaloor Stadium without various permissions. This is despite the fact that a public event with more than two hundred people participating requires the consent of the relevant departments.

Although the stadium was given to the event, the GCDA, which is in charge of the stadium, did not check whether the organizers had made temporary constructions or whether the relevant departments had permission for all this. Permission was not given to build a temporary stage in the stadium. Although the contract said that all safety measures should be taken, many were violated.
