A man was arrested on January 6 on a charge of assaulting activist Bindhu Ammini, who was shot into prominence by entering the Sabarimala temple after the Supreme Court in 2019 allowed women of all ages to enter the shrine.

She was attacked by a man at the Kozhikode beach on Wednesday evening. Mohandas was arrested by the Kozhikode police based on a written complaint by the activist.
