Police have registered a case after a beer bottle was allegedly thrown at the BJP’s state headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram late on September 30. According to the FIR described by The Indian Express, two people on a scooter approached the office around 11:30 p.m. and allegedly pushed police personnel who tried to stop them. Investigators are examining CCTV footage to identify them.
The BJP condemned the incident at Mararji Bhavan and announced protests. Its national secretary K. Surendran blamed Congress workers, but the case reported by police was against unidentified people. The available accounts did not establish the attackers’ political affiliation or report a confirmed arrest in this office incident.
The episode followed a tense day of separate political clashes and competing allegations in the district. Those disputes do not establish responsibility for this attack. A specific Congress response to the headquarters allegation was not available in the sources reviewed. The police inquiry, rather than either party’s accusation, must determine the facts.
