Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan on Monday said cases of crime were on an upward spiral in the State. The latest law-breaking was the vandalising of Congress legislator M. Vincent's car. He had parked the vehicle in front of his house and found it dented and windscreens damaged on Monday morning.
Last week, an armed man had hacked a hotel receptionist during business hours to death. The crime spree had precipitated a sense of insecurity among citizens.
In Malappuram, a history-sheeter barged into a house and raped a mentally challenged minor girl in front of her invalid mother. He also intimidated them against complaining to the police.
