THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: An owner and his wife were beaten up for refusing to hand over land for temple construction. Aneesh and his wife Arya, natives of Malayinkeezhu, Thiruvananthapuram, were beaten up. Reports say that one person has been arrested in the case.

Aneesh is an ISRO employee. He has ten cents of land near the Karikakkam pump house. Recently, a group came and demanded three cents of land for temple construction. They said that they were not interested in giving three cents but indicated that they would consider selling the whole ten cents of land at the market price.

However, the group that came to the house was not interested in what Aneesh offered. They said that only three cents were enough. When Aneesh did not agree, he left the house. The next day, this group trespassed on their land and lit a lamp.

Aneesh had filed a complaint with the police on February 3, citing this. He also sent a legal notice to the opposing parties. However, the accused again trespassed on the place and lit a lamp.

Aneesh decided to install a gate to prevent people from trespassing on his property. He reached the spot with his wife, Arya. It was at this time that the attack took place. When they tried to record the footage of the attack, the accused grabbed and beat Aneesh and Arya.
