The disturbance, which included loud protests and unruly behaviour over the controversial Sabarimala gold scandal, led Speaker A N Shamseer to take decisive action, invoking the relevant provisions of the Assembly Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business.

The suspended MLAs, Roji M John, M Vincent, and Saneeshkumar Joseph, were accused of engaging in violent conduct that disrupted the assembly's proceedings. The incident escalated when the three legislators were reportedly seen rushing towards the Chief Minister, ringing bells without permission, and making aggressive movements toward the Speaker's podium.
