PALAKKAD: The state treasurer of Bharatiya Janata Party (
BJP) and vice-chairman of
Palakkad
municipality E Krishnadas alleged that the accused in the murder of
RSS worker Sanjith A
is under police protection.
Addressing media persons here on Tuesday, E Krishnadas and BJP national executive committee member
PK Krishnadas
said that
SDPI
terrorists are behind the murder of
RSS worker Sanjith. “There is an unholy alliance between SDPI,
CPM and its government in Kerala. The silence of chief minister
Pinarayi Vijayan, who holds the home ministry and the CPM state secretary is evidence of it. Such incidents show that terrorism is growing in Kerala,” said PK Krishnadas.
Meanwhile, police recovered four swords abandoned in a gunny bag near the national highway at Kannanur near here on Tuesday. Blood stains were found on one sword. Forensic experts are conducting a detailed investigation to find out whether these weapons were used in Sanjith’s murder on Monday at Kinassery, said police.
Ashitha, wife of Sanjith, told media persons that there were five assailants. While travelling on a bike they were hit by a car and when they fell down on the road one person dragged her to the canal and others hacked Sanjith in front of her. She said that she can identify the assailants who came in a Maruti Alto car. She and her husband shifted to her house two days ago as Sanjith had been receiving threats, she added.
Seven teams have been formed to investigate the case and efforts are on to nab the accused, police said. Political enmity is the likely reason for the murder, police added.
Earlier, there were clashes between RSS and SDPI in which Sanjith was injured. RSS had retaliated against SDPI too. These cases are under investigation.
