Thrissur: An employee of the Thrissur Corporation was arrested by the Thrissur East Police for allegedly creating a disturbance at the Corporation office while under the influence of alcohol and attempting to assault a woman councillor and issuing death threats.
The arrested person has been identified as Mani, an office assistant at the Corporation. He allegedly assaulted and threatened Soumya Prajeesh, councillor representing the Krishnapuram division.
Mani, who had been transferred to the Thrissur Corporation from the Kunnamkulam Municipality, reportedly created a ruckus at the Corporation office while intoxicated. He allegedly demanded that accommodation in the Corporation quarters be allotted to him and threatened to kill people if his demand was not met.
According to the complaint, Mani grabbed Councillor Soumya Prajeesh by the hand and threatened her, saying, “Don’t mess with me. If you don’t give me a room, I will kill you.”
Following a complaint filed by Soumya demanding strict action against the employee, the Thrissur East Police arrested Mani.
