The Nadapuram police on Thursday nabbed the leader of a suspected gang of hired goons from Kannur district who allegedly circulated a threatening video message against Nadapuram Station House Officer Fayiz Ali on social media after attacking a house within the police station limits.
Shameem Narath, 40, was detained from his hideout at Kakkad in Kannur within a few hours after posting the bullying Instagram video.
According to the Nadapuram police, Shameem along with other hired gang members went into hiding after attacking the house along the Thanneerpanthal-Kadameri road on Wednesday. Though the gang reached the spot in the name of settling some financial disputes, it eventually ended up in a street scuffle. One of the suspected attackers, K.V. Sahad, was nabbed on Wednesday itself, helping the police locate the hideout of the main escapee.
