Kozhikode
Political organisations took out protest marches in Perambra town in Kozhikode district on Monday after a group of people, allegedly associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), went on the rampage at a supermarket there the previous day seeking the sale of beef without a ‘halal’ sticker.
Three staffers at the store sought treatment at the taluk hospital after they were injured in the incident. The police arrested Prasoon Narayanan, a native of Meppayyur, a suspected RSS activist, based on their complaint. He was charged under Section 308 (attempt to commit culpable homicide), produced in court, and remanded in 14-day judicial custody on Monday. Though it is learnt that one more person has been booked on a similar charge, the police did not confirm this.
