A section of the private bus employees on the Kozhikode-Atholi route resorted to a flash strike on Friday alleging that one of their colleagues, a conductor, was manhandled by an eight-member gang at Atholi. Midhun Lal, president of the bus employees’ union in Atholy, said the strike would be called off only after the arrest of the attackers. Even a local body member from the Atholi area joined the gang of attackers after intercepting the bus using another vehicle, they alleged. Police officials from Atholy station said they had registered a case on the basis of the petition filed by the conductor. The conductor, who complained of uneasiness after the incident on Thursday night, was admitted to the Koyilandy government hospital.
