Authorities in Kannur have opened a formal investigation against five individuals who reportedly breached the security of the District Police Headquarters. These individuals allegedly impersonated police officers to host a surprise birthday celebration for a young woman on the camp premises. This audacious act has sparked significant concern and scrutiny regarding the security protocols at the facility.
The incident, which occurred on September 16, 2025, initially went undetected, astonishingly bypassing armed guards on duty. It only came to light after videos of the unusual celebration began circulating widely across various social media platforms. Further details revealed by the police indicate that the woman’s friends orchestrated the elaborate prank by making a fake phone call, falsely informing her that her vehicle had been involved in a serious accident and that she needed to report immediately to the Town police station. A comprehensive inquiry into the matter is now actively underway to understand how such a significant security lapse could have occurred.
