A civil police officer in Kochi was injured after a detained man allegedly bit his hands while being transported for a medical examination. The incident occurred when the officer attempted to manage the detainee, who was reportedly under the influence of intoxicants. The accused, Muhammed Iqbal, 25, was charged with causing hurt to a public servant and using obscene language in public. The officer, Ajith Paul, was injured as he tried to restrain Iqbal, who jumped seats in the police vehicle and attempted to force open the door.
