Advocate Shyna P.A. wrote to Kerala’s Chief Minister because she’s worried about her husband Roopesh T.R. He’s a political prisoner who’s about to finish a 10-year sentence. Shyna is concerned he might get re-arrested for a 12-year-old case. This happened because the Kerala Crime Branch questioned him recently about an old case from 2013 connected to an incident at a police station.
This old 2013 case is a big deal because it uses the UAPA law. It makes Shyna fear that even after serving his full sentence, Roopesh could be kept in prison longer. This older case came back up right before his release date. Shyna’s letter is trying to stop the government from taking further action on the 2013 case.
So, it’s a mix of concerns the Kerala government, the crime branch, and Roopesh are involved. Roopesh could get held because of this older case and the UAPA law. This situation shows how a person with political history might face hurdles even after their prison term and how the timing of his release and the old case are very concerning.
