A gangster was assaulted by another inmate inside Viyyur Central jail on Monday.
Asharaf Hussain, a gangster, attacked Maradu Aneesh, 38, using a blade. Aneesh, who sustained injuries on his neck and head, was admitted to Thrissur Medical College Hospital. A jail official, who tried to stop the attack, was also injured in the attack. Personal grudge is suspected to be the reason for the attack.
