ALAPUZHA: Six people have been charged by the Alappuzha South Police for allegedly disrespecting Judge VG Sridevi, who handed down the death penalty to 15 individuals for the murder of BJP leader Ranjith Sreenivasan. The accused are Beevi KU, Aslam Valavupacha, Naseermon Khalil, Azad Ameer, Rafi Thiruvananthapuram, and Shafeeq.

The Mavelikkara Additional Sessions Court deemed the case as 'rarest of rare' and sentenced all the accused to death.
