No evidence to prove RSS-ABVP involvement in ASI Murder : Police sources

KOTTAYAM  : Chief Minister of Kerala, Home Minister, State DGP & CPM state leaders were in a spot over making truthfulness claim that RSS-ABVP activists are behind the murder of ASI Elias at NSS Hindu College.

Accordingly to the Police sources the claim could be unfounded as there were no clues to prove this. There is suspicion that the claim is part of a strategy to save the actual culprits as had happened in the murder of NDF activist Fazal in Thalassery in which BJP men were accused first and CPI(M) activists were arrested later.

Sources in the police indicated that there was no urgency or need for the Minister to have made such an irresponsible statement on the identity of the culprits and that once the case comes up in the court of law there is nothing which could boomerang as the prima facia statement of the State Home Minister would naturally affect the mindset of the investigating officers.

State Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan has found it expedient to act and behave like a third-rate politician rather than a Home Minister and this is seen in his recent reactions on issues including the sudden shunting of the DGP(Jail) MGA Raman and other issues in which CPI(M) workers clashed with members of other political parties.

Kodiyeri, who was in the forefront to unleash a campaign against the RSS and the BJP in the killing of the NDF terrorist in Thalassery, had to finally direct his police to arrest his own three CPI(M) local workers.
