Sabarimala: National award winning director attacked, RSS activist nabbed

Thrissur: National award winning director Priyanandan, whose social media post on Sabarimala evoked angry reactions from the Sangh Parivar, was on Friday attacked near here in Kerala, leading to the arrest of the attacker.
The 53-year-old director said he was on his morning walk when a young man came up from behind me, hit him and poured cowdung mixed water on him. The incident took place around 9 a.m.
“It seems this person was waiting for me,” Priyanandan said. “Generally I take a walk on this route every day around 7 a.m. but today I got delayed. This is not a one-man attack. There are others behind it.” The incident occurred near Priyanandan’s home near Thrissur.
Police said an RSS activist had been taken into custody for the attack.
