Criticism The Thiruvananthapuram City police filed a complaint with the State Police Chief against Public Prosecutor T. Geena Kumari for failing to effectively oppose the bail application of a key accused involved in assaulting Enforcement Directorate officials. Investigators alleged that Kumari ignored a police report and actively contradicted the team's position by allowing the accused to secure bail before crucial evidence, including the assault weapon, could be recovered. Police report, which outlines 13 reasons to deny bail, was submitted to the court on the 18th of this month. Following claims that the prosecution effectively aided the accused, the police department initiated recommendations to appoint a special public prosecutor to take over the case.
