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.
According to sources, even though the issue was settled by police on Wednesday, the activist arrived at the local police station this morning with a complaint and the man was arrested. Apparently, last month Ammini was in the news when an auto-rickshaw hit her while she was walking.
Even though the police registered a case, no further action was taken against anyone. She has gone on record saying that she is coming under frequent attacks because she visited the Sabarimala temple.
