Congress MLA Ramya Haridas hospitalised after late-night fracas at party colleague’s house
According to the Chirayankeezhu police, the fracas occurred at the house of a local Congress worker. They said Ms. Haridas and her private secretary Palayam Pradeep had visited the party worker’s house around 11 p.m.
Congress legislator Ramya Haridas was hospitalized on Friday night after a late-night altercation at a colleague's house. According to the Chirayankeezhu police, Haridas and her private secretary Pradeep visited the party worker's residence around 11 p.m. They were there to mediate a dispute that had erupted between Pradeep and local Congress workers during a project implementation meeting at the local panchayat.
The police claim that Haridas' attempt to reconcile the situation backfired, leading to violence inside the party worker's living room. Videos of the incident circulating on social media show Haridas wrestling with a Congress worker and demanding he cease gripping her hand. The living room was left in disarray, with overturned chairs and debris scattered about.
Haridas accused her party colleague of assaulting her, while a district panchayat member accused Haridas and Pradeep of trespassing into the local Congress worker's house late at night and assaulting him. He demanded that the police charge Haridas and her aide with house trespass with criminal intent, property destruction, and assault. The police stated they would record the statements of both parties and file a First Information Report (FIR). They also plan to inform the Speaker's office about the incident.
