Haripad (Alappuzha): In an apparent revenge attack, Congress Kumarapuram area president and Grama Panchayat member K Sudheer was assaulted allegedly by Youth Congress workers, led by its district secretary.

Sudheer was admitted to a private hospital as his hand was injured in an attack the previous day.

As per the statement of Sudheer, Youth Congress district secretary Sreekuttan along with Congress workers and brothers Ranjith (38) and Sajith (36) of Kuttivelikkadu House at Kattil Market encroached his house and manhandled him using a wooden chair. 

Sreekuttan was removed as president of booth number 20 at Kumarapuram and replaced by another worker Akhila. Police doubt this as a vindicative act. A case has been registered against Sreekuttan, Ranjith and Sajith by the Haripad Police.
