KANNUR: KPCC president K Sudhakaran’s security has been doubled following intelligence reports. From now onwards, Sudhakaran will be escorted by armed police in his journeys. Armed police guard has been arranged at his residence in Nadal, Kannur.

Earlier, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vjayan’s security was also beefed up following the revelations by Swapna Suresh, an accused in the gold smuggling case. Opposition parties are staging protests against the chief minister across the state. Meanwhile, an in-flight protest was also launched against the chief minister.

Sudhakaran had earlier said that although he did not justify the in-flight protest, he would not disown the Youth Congress activists. Sudhakaran’s security has been increased following the controversies in connection with the incident.
