Munniyur teacher suicide: Ex-Malappuram deputy director of education arrested

The case was handed over to the crime detachment recently

MALAPPURAM: The Palakkad crime detachment team on Tuesday arrested former (retired) Malappuram deputy director of education, K.C. Gopi in connection with the suicide of Munniyur Higher Secondary School teacher K.K. Aneesh. Mr Gopi surrendered before DySP Mohammed Kasim and was remanded in custody.

The investigation team has already arrested school manager V.P. Seydalavi, PTA president K.T. Haiderali and headmistress Sudha P. Nair.

The investigation team had found out prima facie evidence that suggested victimization of Aneesh and creation of forged documents to level charges against him, leading to his dismissal from the service.

Mr Gopi, who was then the DDE of Malappuram, connived with the school manager and took part in the conspiracy to remove Aneesh from service. He had also forged the documents to prove the charges against the teacher.

Aneesh committed suicide at a lodge in Malambuzha in September last after he was dismissed from service.

In his suicide note, he had described the roles of the school manager, DDE and others that led to his condition.

The case was handed over to the crime detachment recently. Three more accused in the case are absconding.
