Muhammed Anas, a native of Konniyoor and a second-year degree student, was attacked in the unit room on Monday evening. Following the incident, the police registered cases against Amal Chand, Midhun, Alan Jamal and Vidhu Uday -- all SFI leaders -- under non-bailable sections. However, the police are facing criticism that they were going soft on the accused persons owing to political pressure.
