Kerala police’s warning of a late-night visit to the residence of journalist Siddique Kappan has raised questions about the intent and timing of the action, with Kappan and his wife, Raihanath, expressing concern over what they describe as an unsettling and abnormal incident.
On Saturday evening, around 6:30 pm, two uniformed police officers claiming to be from Vengara and Tirur police stations arrived at Kappan’s home in Vengara, Malappuram district.
According to Raihanath Kappan, the officers inquired whether Siddique Kappan would be home after midnight, stating that a team from Malappuram would visit for an inspection to verify his presence.
When pressed for details about the purpose of the check, the officers provided no clear explanation, describing it as a “routine” procedure related to Kappan’s ongoing legal case.
“They asked if Siddique was home and said a team would come after 12 am to check again,” Raihanath told Maktoob.
“We asked why such a visit was necessary so late at night and whether this involved agencies like the ED or NIA. They assured us it was just a routine check, but it didn’t feel routine at all.”
