Suspected CPI(M) workers attack scribes

Kannur, Aug. 13 (PTI): Scribes of Manorama News TV channel and Malayala Manorama daily's Kannur unit were manhandled by suspected CPI(M) workers while they were travelling in their vehicle here today.

The incident occurred as the vehicle got stranded in a rally organised by the pro-CPI(M) "kerala state Karashaka Thozhilali Union' to the head post office here, as the scribes were returning after covering a public function near the collectorate, Manorama news reporter Mohammed Noufal said.

According to Noufal, a group of CPI(M) activists asked him to steer the vehicle away to clear the road for other vehicles behind it.

As he expressed his inability to move forward due to the traffic snarl, a group of suspected CPI(M) activists manhandled him, TV cameraman Sangeeth and the Malayala Manorama daily reporter K J Arun Ezhuthachan, Noufal said.

The activists also shouted slogans against the scribes for giving anti-CPI(M) reports through the TV channel and the leading Malayalam daily.
