Kochi, Jul 23 (UNI) CPI leaders including Moovattupuzha party MLA Eldho Abraham were injured in the police lathicharge when they staged a protest march to the DIG office here on Tuesday.

The activists of CPI, second largest ally of the ruling CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) Government, staged the march in protest against the police supporting SFI activists, who beat-up AISF students at Vypin Government Arts And Science College on Monday.

The CPI leaders demanded an action against the Njarakkal Circle Inspector (CI) who failed to act against SFI leaders involved in the crime.

Police resorted to lathicharge and used water canons to disperse nearly 200 CPI men who tried to remove the barricades erected in front of the DIG office.

The CPI leaders also said their District Secretary P Raju was blocked by DYFI and SFI activists when he came to see the injured AISF students in the college.
Later, the MLA said the police was acting in support of SFI and denying the rights of AISF students in the college.
