Man held for hacking history-sheeter in Mangadu

The victim, Jayasurya of Iyyapanthangal, is also a history-sheeter, who has arrested for bike thefts, said the police. While Vinoth was released from prison 15 days ago, Jayasurya came out three days ago. “There was a tiff between them when they were in prison, and Vinoth wanted to take revenge. So, Vinoth invited him to for a booze session and attacked him when he was drunk. Jayasurya suffered injuries on his head and hands,” said the police. Based on his complaint, the police secured Vinoth and remanded him in judicial custody. Police also suspect that Vinoth attacked Jayasurya as he thought the latter informed the police about Vasanth smuggling ivory.
