KOCHI: The act of DCP Chaitra Theresa John raiding CPM district committee office was wrong and disciplinary action was avoided deliberately, said CPM state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan. As she is a young IPS officer, the government avoided action giving her special consideration. The party accepts the good intention of the government, he said in an interview to a channel.

Meantime, the report of the police mentioned that the raid was not against rules and had followed norms. The police had explained that soon after the raid, the DCP had submitted the examination report at the additional CJM Court and had also registered GD entry in the police station.

A DYFI team had last month pelted stones at the Medical college police station. They pelted stones after permission was not given to meet an activist arrested under POCSO. The raid was conducted in search of them.
