Kozhikode medical college security guards assaulted by unidentified men, complaint lodged

As per the man's claims, he told that the security guard misbehaved with his wife, which led to the commotion at the hospital.

Seeking justice for the matter, the Medical College Staff Council staged a protest in front of the hospital.

Meanwhile, the journalist identified as P. Shamsudhee with Medical College police filed a petition, and CCTV visuals were submitted as evidence of the incident.

When the police were investigating the CCTV, it was revealed that the assaulters had covered their faces with masks and helmets to avoid being caught in the act. The gang has not yet been arrested by the police even after knowing their whereabouts, which raises suspicion among others.

Allegations came to the fore that the couple might be from the Democratic Youth Federation of India workers and hence may get away from the matter.

Condemning the attack, office-bearers of the Kerala Union of Working Journalists told The Hindu that Shamsudheen had, in fact, survived a murder attempt along with the security guards. They alleged that the gang members had attempted to throttle him after smashing his spectacles.

On the other hand, the woman lodged a complaint against the security guards for allegedly misbehaving and grabbing her hand.

It was informed by the police that both cases, as well as the case related to the attack on the journalist would be investigated.
