Thiruvananthapuram: A security officer caused a drunken brawl inside the high security Secretariat. Anil Kumar, an assistant security officer, created a ruckus in an inebriated state. 

The incident took place on September 2 around 8:30 PM. The commotion was caused at the office of the Labour department on the first floor of the Secretariat. No other staff were present at the time. It also remains unclear how Anil brought liquor to the Secretariat premises without being noticed.

The police registered a case on September 3 and lodged an FIR against him for trespassing in a high-security area. The Cantonment police station had received a complaint that night stating that a man was causing disturbance in the Secretariat in a drunken state. He was taken into custody after this.
