A protest march led by R. Sreelekha, the former Director General of Police (DGP) in Kerala and current councillor of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has ignited a fierce debate on social media. During the protest outside the Vattiyurkavu police station in Thiruvananthapuram, Sreelekha raised slogans that many interpreted as derogatory towards the police force.
