The protest by Congress councillors in the Thrissur Corporation against distribution of poor quality drinking water in the city is becoming murkier.
The police on Wednesday night registered cases against Mayor M.K. Varghese and his driver on a complaint by Congress councillors. In their complaint, the councillors said the Mayor’s driver, on a directive of the Mayor, tried to ram his car on to a group of peacefully protesting councillors. The case was registered under Section 308 (attempt to commit culpable homicide) and Section 324 (voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means).
Congress councillors had brought muddy water purportedly distributed by the corporation in the city to the council and poured it on the effigy of the Mayor.
