Minutes before the meeting, SFI activists obstructed the five members at the entrance of the Senate House, and staged a sit-in protest in front of the venue.
The court rejected the bail plea of the SFI workers, observing that prima facie, the charges levelled against the accused held water.
The stringent Section 124 was added in the FIR after the Governor issued instructions to the State Police Chief and the Chief Secretary in this regard.
Around 30 members of SFI, the student wing of CPI(M), barged into the office of Asianet TV and intimidated the staff, sources said.
