Father of an absconding accused attacks police team that came to arrest his son
A Grade Sub-Inspector (Grade SI) with the Manimala police station in Kottayam sustained serious injuries on the head and neck after being attacked by the father of an criminal-case accused. The incident occurred on Saturday morning when a police team led by Grade SI Vidyadharan reached Vellavur to arrest Ajeesh, a native of Chuvattadipara, who had gone into hiding a few weeks ago after an attempt-to-murder case was charged against him.More Related News
