The resort is owned by Sebastian Joseph, a senior journalist with Kerala’s leading daily Malayala Manorama. The gang entered the resort in the early on November 18 and smashed the windows and furniture. They left behind pro-Maoist pamphlets.
On Saturday, media offices in Palakkad district got a press release believed to be from the Western Ghat Zonal Committee of the CPI (Maoist) saying that its cadres had attacked the resort. It said the attack was a warning against unbridled encroachment of the real estate-tourism mafia in Wayanad district, which was once a land of paddy fields. Policed sources said they were probing the case.
