Determined to counter the growing goonda menace in the city, the police have prepared a list of 25 frequent offenders who are suspected of having direct involvement in the planning and execution of a series of recent goonda attacks in Kozhikode district.
Though more than 15 persons have already been nabbed, search is on to locate the identified ones in the list submitted by the Special Branch.
The police came up with a stringent action plan after officers on duty were allegedly attacked by gangsters. Three officers had sustained injuries in various incidents. A latest incident near the Kozhikode Medical College Hospital where goons attacked a jeep with petrol bomb also prompted the police to proceed with stern action.
