Woman guard allegedly manhandled in Kerala Assembly

Friday, October 14, 2011: Two Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) legislators on Friday allegedly manhandled a woman guard in the Kerala assembly when she tried to stop them from going towards the speaker’s podium. The lawmakers denied the accusations.
The woman and one of her male colleague sustained injuries and were admitted in a hospital.
Earlier in the day, deputy leader of opposition Kodiyeri Balakrishnan had stood up in the assembly to find out why the government was delaying the suspension of an assistant commissioner of police who fired four pistol rounds to disperse a student mob at Kozhikode last week.
Following that, some opposition members moved towards the speaker’s podium and started raising slogans. The guards, standing outside, came inside and stopped them. The house was later adjourned.
