Kerala Court Detains Congress MP Shafi Parambil
A court in Kerala, India, punished a Congress MP named Shafi Parambil and another man named P Sarin for blocking a big road during a protest in 2022.
The MP was fined ₹1,000 and had to stay in court until it ended.
P Sarin, who used to be in the Youth Congress but is now with the Left, also got a smaller fine and the same punishment.
The MP didn't show up for court earlier, so they had to issue a special order to make him come.
Both were punished for their part in the protest.
Congress MP Shafi Parambil was detained and fined ₹1,000 for blocking a National Highway in Palakkad, Kerala in 2022.
Shafi Parambil was the main accused and had previously failed to appear in court, leading to an arrest warrant.

Both individuals were sentenced to imprisonment till the rising of the court.
The case was heard in the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court in Palakkad.
