Four youths arrested for armed assault, terrorising public in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram

The Thumba police in Thiruvananthapuram have arrested four youths for terrorising the public with lethal weapons and assaulting a youth in Nalanchira.

The incident took place on April 26 when a group, including those arrested, engaged in verbal altercations and used abusive language towards bystanders. When a local youth questioned their behaviour, the gang purportedly attacked him and struck him on the head with an iron rod. The suspects further escalated the situation by brandishing a gun and a sword to intimidate the public.
