In a dramatic turn of events, the police have once again detained four members of Asianet News team at Kozhikode Town police station. The development came when the team visited the station on Saturday afternoon to get the DSNG vehicle released.

The scribes were waiting outside the station when the policemen dragged them inside and assaulted them.

It is learned that Kozhikode Town Sub Inspector Vimod, who was temporarily discharged from duty following the morning incident, assaulted the pressmen. The policemen locked their grill and barred media persons outside the station from taking any visuals.

Though the earlier issue was resolved to an extent in the morning by the city police commissioner, the fresh incident has made matters worse.
