Thiruvananthapuram, BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP, actor Suresh Gopi, on Wednesday courted a controversy as he demanded an honorary salute from a police officer in Thrissur.
Meanwhile, Kerala Students' Union (KSU), affiliated to Indian National Congress, filed a complaint against the actor before the Director General of Police (DGP) in connection with the issue.
It was alleged that the police officer did not acknowledge his presence during the MP's visit at Puthur in Thrissur where the actor turned politician contested in the previous Assembly and Lok Sabha elections.
Reacting to the incident, Suresh Gopi justified that he genuinely informed the police office that he, as a MP, deserved the salute.
The issue became viral after TV channels telecast the visuals of the incident.
