KOTTAYAM: Although Yuva Morcha held a march demanding the resignation of the chief minister in connection with the gold smuggling case, it was lottery seller Valiyammal, who had the misfortune to face the attack of the water cannon. As the protestors tried to cross the barricades, the police fired their water cannons unexpectedly. At the time, Valiyammal, a native of Karapuzha, who was walking through the city selling lottery tickets, got trapped in front of the water cannon.
Valiyammal, who fell at a distance, was rescued by the protestors and the police. The Yuva Morcha activists, who carried the woman, then turned against the police. Later, the police officials apologized to Valiyammal for the mishap and took her to General Hospital in their own vehicle.
