A family was allegedly assaulted by a security guard at the Kollassery toll gate on the Thalassery-Mahe bypass following a dispute on Sunday night. The alleged incident occurred when Abdul Aziz, a native of Chokli, and his family questioned the long queue at the toll booth.

It is learnt that Aziz honked his car horn, prompting a violent reaction from the toll plaza staff. The family alleged that the guard physically assaulted them without any provocation.
