Kerala police conduct search at Asianet News channel office days after SFI attack: report

Offices of the Malayalam news channel Asianet were searched by the Kerala police on Sunday. This comes after a group of Students' Federation of India (SFI) activists allegedly trespassed into the office of Asianet News in Kochi on Friday and intimidated the staff over a report about the sexual assault of a girl, according to Kerala Police, said a NDTV report. 

Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar shared a video of the police action on Twitter and  slammed the Pinarayi Vijayan government. 

A case was later registered against 30 SFI activists, the students' wing of the ruling CPI(M) in Kerala, on the basis of a complaint lodged by the channel.
