Police target us by registering false cases, allege members of Kerala Muslim community

By CG Sankar Kochi: 

(MATHRUBHUMI) There have been widespread allegations by the people from the Muslim community across the state of Kerala that police have been targeting them by registering cases on false charges in the pretext of taking measures to curb communal violence.

Over a hundred Muslim men have been charged under sections 153 and 153A of IPC in the last 40 days for promoting communal enmity, a charge they deny.

Police told Mathrubhumi.com that the cases have been registered to prevent communal riots in the wake of the twin political murders in Kerala in December 2021,
