Kappan, a reporter for Malayalam news portal Azhimukham, and secretary of the Delhi unit of the Kerala Union of Working Journalists (KUWJ), was arrested along with three others in UP, while on his way to Hathras to report on the gang-rape and murder of a 19-year-old Dalit girl.
He was then booked under the UAPA and later under the PMLA.
In the UAPA case, he was denied bail by lower courts and the Allahabad High Court, before the top court granted him relief in August 2022.

A thread on ridiculous accusations used to beat up @AamAadmiParty by liberals/@INCIndia that @ArvindKejriwal is anti-Muslim!
For decades this country has been divided into Hindu, Muslims,Christians,Dalits,Adivasis,Rich & Poor, Urban/Rural. Never functioned as a single unit! 1/23
For decades this country has been divided into Hindu, Muslims,Christians,Dalits,Adivasis,Rich & Poor, Urban/Rural. Never functioned as a single unit! 1/23
This kind of divide suits ALL parties, whether BJP, Congress, LEFT, TMC, SP, JDU. Never has any political party risen above corruption to address basic needs of the people. Babasaheb’s dream of rich & poor sharing the same school bench at govt cost remained only a dream 2/23
Then comes the political disrupter @ArvindKejriwal who along with his trusted & competent band of ministers decide that they will come up with an education & health model, which will benefit ALL, irrespective of religion, caste & their status 3/23
