Bijimol 'manhandles' ADM

KOTTAYAM: CPI MLA E S Bijimol on Friday lost her temper in a heated argument with Idukki Additional District Magistrate (ADM) and even tried to manhandle him. The incident happened on Friday at 11:30 am in front of the gate of Mundakkayam Peruvanthanam TRT company, where she had picked a quarrel with the ADM.

The owner of TRT company at Peruvanthanam had installed a gate at the entrance of the company’s estate and started toll collection. Issues started snowballing after the locals came out to protest against this.      

Then the State Human rights Commission intervened and ordered demolition of the gate. On Wednesday ADM visited the spot and oversaw the demolition of the gate without realising  that the company had already obtained a stay against this.  Once he came to realise his mistake, he sought the help of the police to reinstall the gate, fearing action against him for the contempt of the court.

It was at this point Bijimol and certain locals reached the spot and blocked the ADM. In the tussle that ensued, Biji Mol is said to have manhandled the ADM. 

More police personal were called in later to bring the situation under control. Meanwhile, Bijimol has said that she had not manhandled any one and would continue her agitation against the illegal construction of the gate.
