The incident involving the mayor and the driver was a big controversy. There are many news coming out regarding this. Meanwhile, a poster claiming that the mayor said that the court has no jurisdiction to file a case against him is going viral on social media.
This is the full form of the Facebook post which says, “Didn't you see your pride is bigger than the court, Mayor…” But in reality, Mayor Arya Rajendran did not make such a statement.
The truth is this, we first checked the news related to the Mayor and his family arguing with the KSRTC driver on the road. Nowhere in this can we find any reference to the Mayor's Court. But the news came that the court ordered to file a case on the complaint of the driver Yadu. Thiruvananthapuram First Class Magistrate Court has directed to file a case against Mayor Arya Rajendran, MLA Sachin Dev and others. A case has been filed on the complaint of obstruction of official execution.
We also checked whether the mayor made any statement regarding the court verdict. For this, Mayor Arya Rajendran's office was contacted. “There has been no statement from the mayor as per the posts circulating,” said Mayor's PA Nandu.
