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[7] of a key accused involved in assaulting Enforcement Directorate officials.[8] 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.[9] Police report, which outlines 13 reasons to deny bail, was submitted to the court on the 18th of this month.[10] 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.[11]
