Kerala: One more held in Covid duty staff assault case

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: One more arrest has been made in connection with the case of assault on a junior health inspector (JHI) and Varkala municipality staff that took place on May 17, 2021.
The police have identified the accused as Sahad (29) of Mannaniya Laksham Veedu Colony.
The police had earlier arrested four others in connection with the case.
The alleged attack took place a day after liquor shops were opened in Kerala after the state government eased lockdown restrictions.
All the accused had gathered in a public place near the colony and were consuming alcohol.
Junior health inspector Aneesh, who was on a field visit, saw them while passing by.
He questioned their actions and told them that it would not help the ongoing fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
But, the accused, who were in an inebriated state, got infuriated at being questioned and attacked the JHI.
When municipality staff Arun, accompanying the JHI, tried to intervene, they also assaulted him.
The accused also vandalized their car, owned by the Varkala municipality.
Sahad, like the other accused in the case, went into hiding after committing the crime.
He was arrested by a team of police led by Varkala station house officer Inspector Dwijesh.
He was produced before the court and remanded in judicial custody shortly after the arrest was recorded.
