Some unknown individuals have vandalised a neighborhood store of a CPI(M) functionary right here as they had been allegedly enraged over social media posts he had put up praising a newly-released film revolving round Lord Ayyappa, police mentioned.

The mild and sound service store, owned by C Pragilesh, in Kerala’s Malappuram district was discovered destroyed on the night time of January 1, police added.

Several newly-made boards and ornamental lamps stored close to the store had been broken within the assault, they mentioned.

An area chief of the ruling CPI(M), Pragilesh charged that some individuals had threatened through social media to assault the store after he praised the movie ‘Malikappuram’.

With actor Unni Mukundan within the lead position, the movie narrates the story of just a little village woman who has a powerful want to go to Sabarimala and supply prayers to Lord Ayyappa.

”There had been some debates on social media just lately after I put up some posts praising the film. Following that, a few of the social media customers threatened to assault me and my store,” Pragilesh mentioned.

Perumbadappu police mentioned a case was registered on Tuesday for property destruction beneath Indian Penal Code Sections 427 and 435 and investigation is occurring with regard to the fees raised by the proprietor.
