Notorious abduction
Communist activists abducted Mr. V.N. Sasi of the Congress party to retain rule of the village's administration. The abduction occurred in the days preceding a non-confidence motion against the communist-elected president, as Sasi originally won the election under the communist party, but later joined the Congress party.
The abduction caused people to block the road at Kenichira. The division bench of the Kerala high court intervened. According to the police, a vehicle hired in Meenangadi was used for the abduction.[3]
