THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Police do not seem to be taking strict action against the members of a gang that brutally attacked a youth in Mangalapuram. The Mangalapuram police have released the accused Faisal on bail after charging a case under bailable sections.

Anaz of Kaniyapuram Puthenthope in Thiruvananthapuram was stopped and beaten by the accused while he was travelling on a bike. Anaz said the Mangalapuram police were first not ready to register a case on the complaint. Anaz said that the police initially tried to avoid him by saying that the action did not take place within their limits. Later, as the CCTV footage went viral, the police decided to register a case. However, Faisal was charged under a bailable section.
