BJP candidate lands in embarrassment over an eye injury complaint

BJP Lok Sabha candidate in Kerala’s Kollam, G Krishnakumar, has landed in an embarrassing situation as a local leader of the saffron party has been found responsible for the eye injury he sustained during a heated poll campaign.

Krishnakumar had recently lodged a complaint with Kundara police, alleging that it was suspected to be an attack with a strong weapon by his political opponents.

Police said the actor-turned-politician suffered an eye injury after being hit by the scooter keys of local BJP leader Sanal Puthanvila during the election campaign. Puthanvila was arrested on Monday and released on bail later.
