September 29, 2011: A teacher in a school run by the family of a former Kerala minister was attacked and seriously injured in Kollam district, drawing protest from Opposition LDF.
47-year-old Krishnakumar teaches in the private vocational higher secondary school owned by the family of Kerala Congress (B) leader R Balakrishna Pillai, who is now serving one year imprisonment in a corruption case.
Krishnakumar was found in a serious condition on a roadside at Valakam near Kottarakkara in Kollam district late last night, police said.
Chief Minister Oommen Chandy promised strong action after the issue was raised in the Assembly by Kottarakkara MLA Aisha Potti.
Locals told police they saw Krishnakumar being thrown out of a white car at night and later lying in a pool of blood. Krishnakumar was first taken to Kottarakkara Taluk Hospital, but doctors there referred him to MCH.
Kottarakkara DYSP K.M. Anto said Krishnakumar was seen at Nilamel Junction at 10 pm while returning from Kadakkal.
“He was possibly attacked elsewhere and dropped at MLA Junction,” he said, adding, “We have registered an attempted murder case.”
Krishnakumar is involved in a running battle with the school management and is the prime witness in a vigilance case against it for irregularities.

His wife Geetha became headmistress of the school after winning a court case against the management.
He had recently lodged a complaint that he was getting death threats from the management, but police denied it, sources said.
Meanwhile, Pillai’s son and forest minister K.B. Ganesh Kumar said he had no connection with the school.
