The Congress-led UDF walked out of the Kerala Assembly on July 1, criticizing the state police as overburdened, understaffed, and under undue CPI(M) influence. P.C. Vishnunadh highlighted the alarming suicide rate among police officers, citing overwork, political interference, and poor working conditions as factors. Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan condemned the CPI(M) for manipulating police operations and infrastructure neglect. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan refuted these claims, asserting that the state police are competent and humane, with ongoing recruitment and stress mitigation efforts.
