Kerala shuts down over police action on dead student's kin
Kerala witnessed a state-wide shutdown on Thursday after policemen manhandled and forcibly dragged away protesting family members of Jishnu Pranoy, a Nehru College student who was found dead in his hostel. The student's mother was hospitalised after sustaining injuries during the police action that was aimed at disrupting their peaceful protest over delay in the probe into Jishnu's death.
