Former Kerala MLA Faces Charges for Destroying Road Divider
A politician in Kerala named Anil Akkara got in trouble with the police.
He was upset because the government closed a U-turn on a road near a temple.
This meant people going to the temple had to drive much farther to turn around.
Anil Akkara went to the spot and used a hammer to break a newly built road divider.
He said this was causing problems for people visiting the temple.
The company working on the road reported him, and now he has a police case against him for damaging public property.
Former Kerala Congress MLA Anil Akkara has been charged by police for allegedly destroying a road divider.
The incident occurred in Kerala's Thrissur district on Friday.
A case was registered following a complaint by the contractor, EKK Infrastructure.
