A high-stakes political drama unfolded in Pulpally as police arrested Congress leader Aneesh Mambalil for allegedly planting explosives and liquor at a colleague's residence. This act aimed to implicate Augustine, also a Congress member, in a false case amidst internal party factionalism.
Mambalil, linked to the local Mullankolli panchayat, had reportedly been on the run in conjunction with party tensions. The initial arrest of Augustine on August 23 stemmed from the discovery of banned liquor and explosives sourced from Karnataka at his residence.
However, further investigation revealed his innocence. The contraband was planted by another party affiliate, Prasad P S, who confessed to acting on Mambalil's orders. This led to Augustine's release and has tragically been linked to the suicide of a panchayat member who tipped off authorities.
