THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: CCTV visuals obtained from the attacked SBI branch near Secretariat showed that it was labour organisation leaders who, on Wednesday, walked into the bank and damaged the properties of the bank like computer, phone and tables.

The CCTV visuals showed that NGO Union State committee member and GST department Karamana Commissioner Office inspector Suresh Babu and GST deputy commissioner office inspector Suresh were among the group that walked into the bank. However criticisms have been raised regarding the lack of arrests from police except charging a case.

It was today morning at around 10:30 that around 15 people barged into the bank, hurled abuses at bank employees and damaged computer, table and phones inside the office, demanding them to strike work. Out of 52 employees, 48 were present for work. Losses of Rs 35,000 are reported.

The Samyuktha Samara Samithy has also condemned the strike.
