In an act of apparent moral policing, a group of men led by Edavanna grama panchayat president T. Abhilash attacked a brother and sister at Edavanna bus stand on Thursday. The incident led to a face-off between the students of Government Model Higher Secondary School and the local people.
The police were accused of refusing to register a case against Mr. Abhilash and his companions when the victims of moral policing, Shibila and Shimsad, complained. The police said on Sunday that cases were registered on the basis of complaints from both sides.
