Following the pressure of the leaders, the accused were produced before the magistrate. The strike ended when the activists got bail at 2 am. District Congress Committee president Muhammad Shias said that the protest against the Nava Kerala Sadas will continue today.
Congress leaders, including Hibi Eden, Uma Thomas, and TJ Vinod, staged a sit-in protest at Palarivattom police station, demanding the release of Youth Congress workers. The protest continued late into the night. The leaders declared a robust strike against the Nava Kerala Sadas today. MP Hibi Eden announced the end of the strike after the release of the Youth Congress workers.
The Congress protest took a confrontational turn as leaders declared their readiness to handle any attempts at aggression. Under their leadership, protestors entered the police station, blocking traffic in Palarivattom. Tensions escalated, leading to altercations with both passengers and workers. Additional police were deployed as the situation intensified. The protestors burned an effigy of the Chief Minister.
