The attackers were suspected to be part of other political parties operating in the government polytechnic. They have also allegedly assaulted the Station House Officer (SHO) of Meppadi police station, Vibin A B, during the violence on December 2.
“After the elections at the government polytechnic college here, the attackers unleashed violence in which many students and police officers including the Meppadi station CI, were seriously injured,” the Meppadi police said.
Meanwhile, the Left party and SFI alleged that the attack was unleashed by a drug mafia operating near the college.
“Comrade Aparna, district joint secretary of SFI in Wayanad, Kerala was brutally attacked by drug mafia in her college (Govt. Polytechnic College, Meppadi)… We will defeat drug mafia’s shrouding in campuses, often acting in disguise as apolitical gangs, by organising students and promoting anti-drugs awareness,” V P Sanu, All India President of SFI, said in a tweet.
