Kochi: Allan Shuaib, the accused in the Pantheerankavu Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) case in 2019, was hospitalised on Wednesday.
He was found in a critical condition in his flat at Edachira near Kakkanad after an alleged sleeping pill overdose. He is undergoing treatment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at a private hospital in Kakkanad.

Shuaib was admitted to the hospital after a suicide bid, police said. According to reports, he sent a note to his friends on WhatsApp stating that he was being murdered by the system. In the letter, he said the 'SFI in his college, authorities, the court and the judge were all being vultures'.

Shuaib, a law student, was arrested on November 1, 2019 by Pantheerankavu police officials in Kerala alleging Maoist links. He was taken into the custody with Thaha Fasal under “suspicious circumstances”. The case was later taken up by the National Investigation Agency.

In the case, NIA had submitted chargesheet against them invoking offences under Sections 38 and 39 of the UAPA which deal with association with a terrorist organization and supporting it with the intention to further its activities and under Section 13 of the UAPA (punishment for unlawful activity) and 120B of the Indian Penal Code (criminal conspiracy).

The NIA and Kerala police alleged that Alan is associated with and rendered support to banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) organisation. He is currently on bail.

Last November, Dharmadam police took Shuaib into custody for allegedly ragging an LLB student on the Thalassery Palayad campus. A case was registered against him based on a complaint by SFI. According to the complaint, a first-year LLB student and SFI worker named Adin Subi was beaten up by the Student United Front led by Shuaib. 
Kannur University's Anti Ragging Committee dismissed the ragging complaint against Shuaib in December, 2022.
