Nineteen activists belonging to the Students' Federation of India (SFI), were arrested on Saturday, 25 June, in connection with the attack and vandalism of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's office in Wayanad on Friday. The police are expecting more arrests, reported news agency PTI.

A local court remanded all arrested persons for two weeks after the state government ordered a high-level probe hours after the incident, suspending the Kalpetta deputy superintendent of police pending enquiry.

"At present, the case is being investigated by the Mananthavady deputy superintendent of police and it will be handed over to the ADGP-led special investigation team (SIT) soon," police told PTI.
