A group of local residents in Kariyad, Kerala, has found themselves facing legal action for allegedly manhandling KP Mohanan, a former minister and the Kuthuparamba MLA. The contentious event occurred as Mohanan arrived to inaugurate an Anganwadi.
The protest by locals arose from grievances over waste disposal practices by a dialysis center, sparking chaotic scenes as Mohanan's car was blocked. Despite the disorder, he reached the function venue.
In light of the disturbance, police have charged ten individuals, even as Mohanan declined to file a formal complaint. Authorities continue to investigate, citing the need to record Mohanan's statement to fully understand the incident's context.
