PATHANAMTHITTA: The latest reports suggest that Pathanamthitta district collector has found BJP leader K Surendran guilty of misusing religious symbol during political campaigning. Surendran was found guilty after conducting a preliminary investigation based on the complaint filed by UDF. It is learnt that the collector has ordered the district police chief to take immediate action against Surendran.

As per the collector's order, the promotional video of Surendran will be soon removed from the social networking sites. Action will be taken against those who produced and spread the video.

Earlier, both UDF and LDF had filed a complaint accusing Surendran of using the picture of Orthodox church chairman in a promotional video intended for election campaigning. Meanwhile, Surendran too has approached the election commission saying that the video was manipulated by opposition parties in order to prevent him from winning the election.
