KOCHI: Two law students were arrested for allegedly manhandling a nursing staff of Community Health Centre (CHC), Kumbalangi, and police officers as well as obstructing the latter from discharging their duty.
The arrest of Neha Rose, 25, of ‘Kocheri’, Chittoor, now staying on rent at Fort Kochi, and Mohammed Aslam, 23, of ‘Ayyambrath’, near NGO Quarters, Kakkanad, was recorded on Saturday. They were remanded in judicial custody by a local court.
The incident occurred around 6.30 pm on Friday when the accused arrived in a car at the health centre in an inebriated state and created a ruckus.
