SI suspended for taking parcel without paying, assaulting hotel employee

KOZHIKODE: In a troubling incident at a local hotel, SI A Radhakrishnan of Balussery station has been suspended for misconduct. Radhakrishnan had developed a habit of telling the hotel staff that the owner would cover the cost of his food parcels. When this became intolerable, the owner instructed the staff to stop serving him if he mentioned the owner's name without paying.

The situation escalated when Radhakrishnan, who had dined with friends the previous day, attempted his usual tactic. When the staff requested payment, Radhakrishnan reacted violently, attacking the hotel and verbally abusing all employees. He also assaulted one of the staff members.

In response, the hotel owner filed a complaint with the police, leading to a case being registered against Radhakrishnan yesterday. His suspension followed soon after.
