Foetal Killers – Comrades Bestiality Knows No Bounds

Kozhikode: After more than two weeks of shielding the culprits, police finally arrested CPM branch secretary Thettalil Thampi, along with six others, for having brutally assaulted a pregnant woman, leading to death of the unborn foetus. Even though the incident took place on 28 January, police were allegedly shielding the perpetrators.

According to sources, a gang of seven, led by local Marxist leader Thettalil Thampi, party branch secretary of Kallatharamedu, Kodencherry assaulted and kicked pregnant woman, leading to death of foetus in the womb. Even though a case has been registered against the seven assailants only one arrest was made initially. Local police are alleged to have personally made a request, of not including Thampi in the case and are said to have taken the stand of arresting others, only if Thampi stood absolved.

The incident took place on 28 January when the attack was unleashed on Sibi Chacko, his wife and two tiny kids by a gang headed by Thampi and Prajesh, their neighbour. The assault by the red brigade goons led to severe complications, leading to death of the foetus. The family has also complained that Thampi and his gang have been issuing continuous threats against them.
