In a Facebook post, Sanal said the life of Manju was facing danger from people close to her and in an Instagram post, he said Manju is in the custody of some people with a vested interest.
Recently, Sanal sent a letter to the President of India and Chief Justice raising apprehension about the law and order situation in Kochi. He cited the life threat faced by Manju and various death cases to point out that Kerala's law and order situation is worsening day by day.
Sanal (45), was taken into custody from his house in Parassala, Thiruvananthapuram at around noon. He will be brought to Kochi, where the case has been registered.
