Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) activists attacked a police station on Tuesday in Kerala's Kollam district, in which six cops were injured including a Circle Inspector.

Besides injuring the cops, the activists also destroyed three vehicles belonging to the police officials.

The incident took place at around 1 am when a group of local RSS activists gathered in front of the police station and began pelting stones destroying parked officials vehicles and injuring the men on duty.

The attack on the police station came after the incident where three RSS activists tripling on a motor bike were stopped during night patrolling and one member had a tussle with a cop, for which they were booked and brought to the station.

Investigations are underway and two local RSS activists have been taken into custody by the Kottarakara Police.
