P Jayarajan's advance bail plea rejected

KANNUR: There are  chances  of the CBI arresting CPM district secretary P. Jayarajan in the Kathirur Manoj murder case with  the  Thalasserry district and sessions court dismissing  his anticipatory bail petition on Tuesday. 

Judge V.G.  Anilkumar, in his order, said Mr  Jayarajan was not an accused in the case. After the verdict,  Mr Jayarajan told reporters that the party would take the next legal step based on the CBI  move. 

“The court  observed that I am not an accused in the case. So that legal fight ends there,” Mr Jayarajan said.  According to sources,  the CBI is likely to send another summons  to him   for quizzing.

This is the second time the court has rejected the bail petition of  Mr Jayarajan. During the hearing on Monday, CBI public prosecutor K. Krishnakumar had said that since the UAPA section was  charged,  no anticipatory bail could be allowed. 

Mr Jayarajan had clarified that the CBI was dancing  to the tunes of the BJP and that the attempts had been strengthened after the recent visit of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat to Kannur.
