Thiruvananthapuram : In a spree of violence that continues unabated, DYFI workers protesting Venjaramoodu double murders on Wednesday were attacked by a bunch of Congress-BJP workers at Karimandom colony in Attakulangara. Several people including a policeman was injured in the incident.
The miscreants hurled fire crackers, terrorising the neighbourhood and pursued their onslaught near about an hour. Karimandom Unit Secretary Nishanth sustained wounds on his arms and head and another DYFI worker, Rajit was also injured in the attack.
Discomforted by ongoing protest against the recent murders, the Congress workers zeroed in on Nishanth . They started with provocative maneuvers and then began a full-blown attack. A group of DYFI members who reached the spot in aid were also thrashed brutally. When more DYFI workers arrived, RSS workers backed up the Congress gang and hurled crackers, stones and glass bottles at the members. The miscreants also vandalized Martyr’s column belonging to CPI(M). Police arrived at the scene shortly after and ended the spree in a while. Those wounded were transported to the hospital.
