Police registered a case under section 153 (abetment with intent to cause riot) and section 120B (criminal conspiracy) in the petition given by Jalil, whom Swapna has named in her statement before the magistrate’s court under CrPC 164 . in Kochi on Tuesday.
In his petition, Jalil has described PC George’s name as part of a conspiracy against the LDF government.
The police registered the case after taking legal opinion from the Deputy Director of Prosecution.
Police sources said that a special investigation team would be formed to probe the matter.
After filing the complaint on Wednesday, Jaleel said that “an accused in gold smuggling cases has made baseless allegations against the chief minister and his family members and against them in the past as well.”
He said that there is a conspiracy behind his allegations which should come to the fore.
“She had already given a statement under 164 CrPC. How did he suddenly remember all these things which he had not picked up then? She is polishing and revising the same things which she alleged earlier. We are not afraid of any of these things, whatever central agency investigates, come on. “We can say with confidence that they (agencies) cannot go an inch beyond where they are,” Jaleel said.
Jaleel filed the complaint after the chief minister summoned state police chief Anil Kant to his office and held discussions with him.
Meanwhile, the government has extended the tenure of a one-member fact-finding commission headed by retired Justice VK Mohanan to probe the allegations leveled against the Enforcement Directorate officials.
The tenure of the commission, which ends on May 7, has been extended by six months.
