In his complaint, joint superintendent said on Dec 11 he asked Suni to remove a thread tied around his hand, which is prohibited under prison rules.

He again refused to remove it and allegedly threatened to kill the joint superintendent and his family. He also warned that false complaints would be filed against the officer. Although the incident occurred around a month ago, the prison official lodged a complaint with Kuttipuram police only on Wednesday night. Suni was booked under BNS Sections 296(a) and 351(2), and Section 81 of the Kerala Prisons and Correctional Services (Management) Act, 2010. Suni was shifted from Kannur Central Jail to Tavanur Central Prison in Aug 2025 following reports of misconduct and use of mobile phone after footage surfaced of him and two fellow convicts consuming liquor in front of a hotel at Thalassery while they were returning to Kannur Jail after appearing before the court.
