Woman arrested for assaulting niece, pushing police officer in Kerala’s Kannur

A woman accused in multiple cases was arrested on Friday after she allegedly assaulted her niece and pushed a female police officer who attempted to intervene during a violent outburst at her family at Vadakkumpad in Kannur, Kerala.

The accused, identified as Rasina, was taken into custody by the Dharmadam police and later remanded in judicial custody for 14 days following her appearance in court.

According to the police, officers were dispatched to the house after receiving a complaint that Rasina was attacking her mother and sister. When officers arrived, they found her physically assaulting her sister’s daughter. A female police officer who tried to stop the attack was pushed to the ground by Rasina.

Prior to the police’s arrival, Rasina reportedly forced her way into the residence and demanded money from her mother. As this was refused, she allegedly went on a rampage, damaging household property, breaking windows and smashing the windshield of a car parked in the courtyard.

Police sources confirmed that Rasina has a history of criminal charges.

The current charges against her include assault, obstruction of duty of a public servant and destruction of property.
