Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], October 23 (ANI): Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) president K Sudhakaran has suspended rape accused Perumbavoor MLA Eldhose Kunnappilly from KPCC and DCC membership for six months.
"The KPCC leadership has assessed the explanation given by the MLA was not satisfactory.

Party will observe him in this period and further action will be decided accordingly," the suspension order cited.
A woman had recently filed rape and attempt to murder case against the Perumbavoor MLA.
The court granted anticipatory bail to Eldhose Kunnappilly on Friday. Further, he appeared before the investigation team for interrogation on Saturday. (ANI)
