Hello
The Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) is the political outfit of the Islamic organisation Popular Front of India.
The accused, Saheer KV, had been absconding since the murder on April 16, 2022.
SDPI National President M K Faizy was speaking at a protest meeting of the party held in Kochi.
The entire incident was captured and released online and the footage gained viral status soon enough.
What insulated the SDPI was the fact that it was a political party registered with the Election Commission of India, which has the power to register a party, but not de-register one.
All offices of the PFI and its front organisations in the state are under the watch of the police.
