THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Two men who allegedly attacked a house have been arrested. The arrested have been identified as Vishnu (20) of Mahila Bhavan in Kallara's Mithrumala and Akhil (23) of Puthan Veedu in Kallara's Choondumannadi.

Last month, the accused vandalized a house and establishment, threw petrol bombs, created a terror atmosphere and threatened people including women.

The accused were absconding in the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Goa for one and a half months. The new social media accounts used by the accused were found with the help of cyber police. This proved crucial in the investigation of the case.

Subsequently, the team that conducted an investigation focusing on various states arrested the accused from Kodaikanal in Tamil Nadu. The police also said that there are other criminal cases against them.
