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.

The Kerala government has faced internal and public debate regarding the singing of the national song Vande Mataram at state events.

The issue has sparked controversy, with some officials citing secular principles and historical precedents for limiting the song, while others have faced allegations of political inconsistency.
