The house of award-winning actor Vinayakan was attacked by a group of unidentified persons hours after he made a controversial remark about the funeral procession of former Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy.
According to reports, the windows of Vinayakan's flat near the International Stadium in Kaloor were damaged by stone pelting. It is alleged that attempts were also made to break open the door.
The incident occurred around 4 pm and it is alleged that the attackers were Congress workers.
Meanwhile, Ernakulam North police filed a case against Vinayakan based on several complaints, including from the District Congress Committee about the 'abusive video'.
Vinayakan had unleashed a storm with a Facebook live earlier in the day, in which he questioned the importance of three-day mourning over the death of Chandy.
"Who is this Oommen Chandy?" Vinayakan said at the beginning of his short video message.
Vinayakan deleted the video from his feed, but it had already gone viral.
