The STF termed this type of writing as communal and mentioned that responsible journalists do not do communal reporting. Kappan used to instigate only and only Muslims, which is a hidden agenda of PFI.

Kappan was arrested in October last year in Mathura along with PFI members Atikur Rehman, Masood Ahmed and his driver. They were detained for sedition and under UAPA. The note in the charge sheet claims that Kappan was acting like a think tank of PFI. He was trying to publish anti-Hindu news in Malayalam and inciting Delhi riots.

The police also accused him of trying to hide the deaths of Intelligence Bureau officer Ankit Sharma and head constable Ratan Lal and downplaying the role of suspended AAP councillor Tahir Hussain in the Delhi riots. The probe agency said that Kappan in his writings had been denying the terror of the banned organization SIMI.

The police have also put the statements of such people in the charge sheet which show that Kappan and Rehman were engaged in instigating the crowd against the administration. In this charge sheet, the STF has submitted hundreds of pages of his articles written in Malayalam and their translation. Along with these call records, details of transactions in the accounts of PFI functionaries are also presented.

It also contains the statement of Gyanendra Singh Solanki, in charge of Munt toll plaza, where he has said that Kappan and Rehman are associated with PFI, 1,717 inflammatory pamphlets were recovered from them on their way to Hathras.
