KSU Activists Accused in Attack on Kerala Health Minister Veena George Sent to Police Custody

Kerala Health Minister Veena George was allegedly attacked by KSU activists during a protest at Kannur Railway Station on February 25 over medical negligence concerns. George reported neck pain and was hospitalized but has since been discharged. Police registered an attempted murder case and arrested the activists, who were sent to two days' police custody. UDF leaders cited video evidence suggesting the activists did not approach George closely, while CPI(M) leaders claimed it was a planned attack. Bail petitions were dismissed as the investigation continues.
