Action committees threaten indefinite agitation if case is not withdrawn
The Thamarassery police have drawn the wrath of socio-political organisations and elected representatives for registering a criminal case against a group of 20 identifiable persons from Ambayathode who allegedly manhandled a man during their attempt to rescue a 38-year-old woman from the attack of his guard dogs.
Leaders of some action committees said they would organise protest meetings at Thamarassery on Thursday to condemn the incident. They also threatened to launch an indefinite agitation if the police failed to withdraw the case.
“The woman who was seriously injured in the attack is yet to recover from the shock. It was those 20 persons who swung into action and saved her life. Treating them as criminals is an insult to society,” said a local action committee leader from Ambayathode. He pointed out that there was no planned attack as claimed by the youth in the petition.
