Congress MLA Ramya Haridas hospitalised after late-night fracas at party colleague’s house
Police said the clash followed a dispute over a WhatsApp post and a meeting, and cases have been filed against seven Congress workers.
- On Friday night, Congress MLA Ramya Haridas was hospitalized following a physical altercation at a party worker's house in Chirayinkeezhu. Viral video footage shows Haridas grappling with an individual, demanding he "Leave my hand."
- The confrontation stemmed from a dispute over Palayam Pradeep, Haridas's aide, attending a block panchayat meeting. Haridas alleged that worker Sajad made negative social media posts at the direction of Sajith and Viswanathan to undermine her.
- Haridas and Pradeep visited Sajad's home around 11 p.m. to discuss the issue, but the meeting escalated into a scuffle. Footage shows toppled furniture in the living room, and Haridas alleges Sajith threatened her safety during the encounter.
- Police registered cases against seven Congress workers based on Haridas's complaint, invoking the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes Act. A separate case will be filed based on Sajad's complaint.
- The Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee and district leadership are conducting an internal inquiry into the matter. This incident reflects rising factionalism within the state unit, as both sides trade allegations regarding the events of Friday night.
