  "account": "On October 25, 2026, a youth from Pandikkad in Malappuram district was arrested by the Kozhikode Town police for allegedly sending a hoax threat message targeting Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan. According to police, the youth allegedly informed the police control room that there was a high probability of the Chief Minister being targeted and that security measures needed to be significantly heightened with the deployment of additional personnel.\n\nThe police took the alert very seriously, as Satheesan was in Kozhikode on Sunday to inaugurate the 68th Kerala State School Sports Meet. The youth's message was acted upon swiftly, as he was located within a few hours of receiving the hoax threat. Preliminary investigations revealed that the alert was a false message intended to deceive law enforcement agencies. The youth was taken into custody to examine his background and determine the motive behind sending the false message.",
