Kerala Maoist encounter case: Man claims Ajitha's body
Mr Vinayakam said the police had deterred her relatives including uncle Prabhakaran who came to receive the body.
Kozhikode: Giving a twist to the Maoist encounter case, K. Vinayakam, a Chennai-based Maoist activist landed here raising his claims for the body of Ajitha, 46, gunned down in the Nilambur forests in an encounter with the police on November 24.
He also alleged that after surgery on leg, Ajitha was unable to walk and even to carry any weight. A politburo member of Communist Party Marxist-Leninist (ML) People’s Liberation, he said he was her husband, and they lived together after the marriage since 2002.
The police was planning her burial as there were no claimants as her relatives had said in writing that they were not willing to receive the body.
When queried about his delayed entry, Mr Vinayakam said the police had deterred her relatives including uncle Prabhakaran who came to receive the body.
“Though they lived as husband and wife there was no documentary evidence for the same,” he added.
Though Mr Vinayakam who came here on Wednesday had made an attempt to convince the hospital authorities, they refused to budge. Ajitha had many injury marks on her body including accident injuries on left leg, marks of two stomach surgeries and removal of two inches of the intestine, according to Mr Vinayakam, who has plans to file an affidavit to Malappuram district collector on his claims on Thursday.
The couple met in Chennai during their student days. Ajitha was a law student at Government Law College, Chennai, during 1991-1996. Vinayakam was the leader Revolutionary Students Union.
