THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: K Sudhakaran criticized the defamatory remarks of M V Govindan against him related to POCSO case involving Monson Mavunkal. Sudhakaran told M V Govindan to at least show the dignity of the post he holds and mocked him for showing the standard of the post.

Asking why the CPM and Govindan are unable to make political accusations with culture, Sudhakaran in a social media post said that he will not fall at the feet of the centre like Pinarayi Vijayan for cases. They should not measure others with that scale. M V Govindan alleged that K Sudhakaran was there when Monson molested the minor girl.

‘The crime branch said Sudhakaran will have to be questioned in the POCSO case as well. They said the girl had given a statement that Sudhakaran was there at that time,’ alleged M V Govindan the other day. However, the crime branch later said that the survivor had not given a statement against Sudhakaran and that he was not called in the POCSO case.
