THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Social media posts that hail SP Chaithra Theresa John, the unflinching woman police officer who raided CPM’s Thiruvananthapuram district committee office to nab the culprits who threw stones at Medical College Police Station, are going viral.

Facebook pages and Whatsapp groups are being flooded with her photos in various poses and with posts that describe her as a tiger cub with backbone, which entered the tigers’ den

The trollers had a field day when ADGP’s report said that Chaithra raided party offices as per rules. There was no flaw from her side and hence there is no need for any action against her.

The trolls also linked the issue to Sabarimala women’s entry and women’s wall. A sarcastic comment in the trolls said that the CPM party commission would have probed complaint against the SP.

In a number of posts related to gender equality, it is said that, “Did the government lose the energy it showed in women’s entry in Sabarimala when it came to a woman police officer’s entry in a party office?

Another troll said, the policemen who arrested Ayyappa devotees received citation while the woman police officer who raided party office got transfer.

Meanwhile, the CPM has brushed aside these trolls and CPM Thiruvananthapuram district secretary Anavoor Nagappan said that the BJP men were behind the trolls.
