Kannur: Employees of private buses plying on the Thalassery-Thottilpalam and Vadakara-Thottilpalam routes began a flash strike on Monday morning alleging the police booked staffer in a POCSO case without initiating a proper preliminary investigation.
The case was registered by Chokli police based on a complaint lodged by a school student against an employee of a bus playing on Thalassery-Thottilpalam route.
The case was registered on October 28 and the accused was arrested on Sunday. The unexpected strike left many passengers, who depend on buses to travel to the interior areas of Thalassery and Vadakara regions, stranded.
