A resort owner and two others were arrested by the Vithura police on Saturday for allegedly engaging in a full-blown clash with local residents following a dispute a day ago.
The police identified the accused as Sujith Kumar of Karikkakom who owns the resort located by the banks of the Kallar river near Vithura, Anil Kumar of Vilappilsala and Manoj of Vattiyurkavu.
The incident took place around 5 p.m. on Friday after two of Anil’s guests had fully stripped down to bathe in the river under the influence of alcohol, even as several local residents including women looked on.
