Toby Antony ByExpress News ServiceKOCHI: Politicians including MLAs and MPs taking part in public protests and police registering cases against them are common. However, the latest statistics show that politicians get away scotfree in an overwhelming majority of cases registered on charges of rioting, causing disruption to public lives and others. In 28 cases, trial is pending. Of the 21 cases referred to the court, Antony was acquitted in 18. They tend to help each legally in cases registered for offences like unlawful assembly and protest activities carried out disrupting the normal lives,” he said..
