PATHANAMTHITTA: The police have not filed a case in the incident where the campaign video of Palakkad UDF candidate Rahul Mamkootathil appeared on CPM's Facebook page. The CPM Pathanamthitta District Secretary filed a complaint to the SP on Monday. The SP had earlier informed that the complaint would be forwarded to the cyber cell. The cyber police informed that a detailed investigation is going on.

The police said that they will seek an explanation from Facebook over the incident and will take further action after being convinced that hacking has taken place. Rahul Mamkootathil's campaign video appeared on Pathanamthitta CPM's page with the caption 'Palakkad Enna Sneha Vismayam, Palakkad as a love wonder'. The incident happened on Saturday night.

However, CPM Pathanamthitta district secretary K P Udayabhanu initially responded that the page was not the official Facebook page of the party. The CPM alleged that hacking took place despite the fact that one of the admins of the page uploaded the video. After the video came out, the admin panel of the Facebook page was reshuffled.
