Attack on Congress office in Keralam’s Kannur; windows, Indira Gandhi portrait damaged

Political tensions led to an attack on the Koothuparamba block Congress committee office in Kannur, Kerala, late Wednesday night. The windowpanes and a portrait of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi were damaged by unidentified individuals. Congress leaders accused the CPI(M) workers of being responsible for the attack, though this claim has not been independently verified.

A complaint filed by Congress office-bearers prompted the Koothuparamba police to register a case and investigate the incident. The police are scrutinizing CCTV footage from the vicinity to identify those involved. Police security has been heightened in the area to deter any future occurrences.
