According to a village source, “The policemen usually leave the station every night and reopen it in the morning. We learnt that they sleep in another station. Last night, hoodlums stormed there and set it ablaze. This is about the only functional police station around here and it has been set on fire. This is highly unfortunate.”
When contacted, the spokesperson for the Command, Micheal Abattam, confirmed the attack, but added that there was no casualty.
