A controversy has erupted in Kerala over CPI Ernakulam district unit's claim that party MLA Eldho Abraham's hand was broken in a lathicharge during a protest march here last week, while the police said the legislator suffered "no bony" injuries.
Citing a medical report from a private hospital, the police have claimed that the MLA had suffered no "bony injuries" in the incident.
The report was reportedly submitted to the Ernakulam district collector who is conducting a probe into the incident.
Abraham was initially taken to the General Hospital here following the lathicharge.
He was later admitted to a private hospital.
The MLA clarified that he had not propagated that his hand was broken but hit out at the police, saying they were known for presenting such "fake reports."
