Thiruvananthapuram Anti-government demonstrations demanding Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's resignation roiled the State for the fourth straight day on Friday.
Congress workers skirmished with the police and braved water cannons to lay siege to collectorates. Several persons, including police officers, were injured in the mele.
Congress said the disclosure that Mr. Vijayan had used the UAE consulate's Customs scrutiny-free diplomatic channel to smuggle out foreign currency and illegally import contraband "metal" had rendered his continuation in office untenable.
