What FACTLY found
Communal riots did break out in Thalassery, Kerala in 1971-1972. Also, Ajit Doval was sent there to bring the situation back to normalcy, but there is no evidence regarding Ajit Doval threatening ‘Gunda Vijayan Koran’. Also, Pinarayi Vijayan was already MLA during the time of riots, ‘Koran’ is his father’s name
