Mullappally Ramachandran reiterates demand for CBI probe in TP Chandrasekharan case

Kozhikode: Lawmaker Mullappally Ramachandran on Sunday reiterated his demand for a CBI probe into the murder of RMP leader T.P. Chandrasekharan. In his letter to PM Narendra Modi and home minister Rajnath Singh, he mentioned that 60 murders had taken place in 80 days of Pinarayi government. Of these, two political murders in 25 days were in his constituency. “Your decision not to have the case investigated by the CBI was received with anguish and despair by the people of North Kerala," he said.

"All political parties and right thinking people were fervently hoping to put an end to political violence and murders that had been going on for decades. People were looking forward to your government for a positive response as BJP also has been campaigning for referring the case to CBI for further investigation into the political conspiracy behind the heinous murder of T.P. Chandrasekharan. If an enquiry had been conducted by an agency like CBI, people by and large strongly believe that the real conspirators behind this murder would have been exposed.”
