Listen to the story

A woman police officer made a big statement about an attack case.

The case is about Kerala Minister Veena George. People said someone attacked her.

They said the minister fell down after she was hit.

Now a woman sub-inspector says this story was not true.

She says someone made a false statement.

She gave her own statement to a special team.

This team is called the SIT. They look into the case.

A gunman also gave a statement about the minister.

He said the minister told him to say a weapon was used.

The case started in Kannur. People protested there.

Veena George was at the protest place.

The new statements make the case more confusing.

Police are still checking all the facts.

No final decision has been made yet.

More information may come soon.
