## Notorious abduction

Communist activists abducted Mr. V.N. Sasi of the Congress party to retain rule of the village's administration. The abduction occurred in the days preceding a non-confidence motion against the communist-elected president, as Sasi originally won the election under the communist party, but later joined the Congress party.

The abduction caused people to block the road at [Kenichira](/source/Kenichira). The division bench of the Kerala high court intervened. According to the police, a vehicle hired in [Meenangadi](/source/Meenangadi) was used for the abduction.[3]
