Thiruvananthapuram: Gangsters use dialogue from movie KGF during murder

Thiruvananthapuram: The murder of  Ananthu Gireesh, the youngster of  Karmana,  was inspired by the  gangster film ‘KGF,’ a  streaming on Amazon prime in Hindi,  Telugu and Kannada.  The killers used one of the dialogues in the film during the brutal murder: “One who comes in a group is a gangster and one who comes as a single is a monster.”    They also filmed the sequence of the  torture  before finally killing him.

Meanwhile, the police arrested Vipin, the remaining accused in the  case. Those already arrested are  Vishnuraj, 23, Vineesh Raj, 20, Vijayaraj, 18,  (Kunjuvava), Sarath, 24, Harilal, 23, Akhil,  21,  and Aneesh,  24.  They have been charged with murder, kidnap, conspiracy and attempt to destroy evidence.

Ananthu was killed in retaliation for the attack on the gang at the  Konjiravila temple. Siblings Vishnuraj, Vineeshraj and Vijayaraj had plotted the murder after  Ananthu  thrashed  Kunjuvava.

All the  three were addicted to drugs. Elder brother Vishnuraj  cut Ananthu's veins.

Later, Ananthu was thrashed with coconut.  The brothers,  who  had gone underground immediately after the incident,  were arrested  from Poovar.

The relatives of Ananthu  blamed the police for the incident.  Though the police  were on the lookout for  Anandhu from  3 p.m. on Tuesday, they could not trace him. The body was found in  the bushes in the vacant  plot of  BSNL regional training centre near a bike showroom near Kaimanam on the Karamana-Kaliyikkavila stretch of the national highway
