SIT formed to further investigate incident involving former Health Minister Veena George

On August 31, 2026, the Kerala Police established a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to conduct a further probe into an incident that occurred on February 25, 2026, at Kannur railway station. During this incident, former Health Minister Veena George sustained injuries to her neck and hand during a black-flag protest by Kerala Students Union (KSU) activists. Initial charges of "attempt to murder" against five KSU activists were later dropped due to insufficient evidence, but the Home department directed a further investigation based on petitions.

On February 25, 2026, former Health Minister Veena George was involved in an incident at Kannur railway station, Kerala, where Kerala Students Union (KSU) activists staged a black-flag protest against her. A scuffle occurred, resulting in George sustaining injuries to her neck and hand, and she was admitted to Kannur District Hospital for treatment. Police initially registered a case including charges of "attempt to murder" against five KSU activists, but these serious offenses were dropped by June 2026 due to a lack of evidence.

On August 31, 2026, the Kerala Police constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to conduct a further probe into the alleged attack.
