Staff of daily threatened over news about ganja seizure

A group of unidentified youngsters allegedly barged into the office of a Malayalam newspaper here and threatened the staff over publication of news related to seizure of ganja from a hostel, police said Sunday.

They entered the office of "Kerala Kamudi" at Pettah and threatened a few employees present there late Saturday night.

Police said the newspaper had recently published news about seizure of ganja from a students' hostel near the government medical college hospital here and arrest of some students.

We have filed a complaint with the Pettah police station. We have also provided the CCTV visuals. The miscreants escaped on two-wheelers before the police could reach our office, an employee of the daily said.

 

The employee also said the group threatened them for publishing the news about the ganja seizure.
