Valakom victim alleges Pillai’s involvement in case


Tuesday, November 15, 2011: Krishnakumar, a teacher of RVHSS school in Valakom, who sustained serious injuries after he was brutally assaulted in Kollam, today alleged that Kerala Congress (B) leader R Balakrishna Pillai was involved in the case.
Speaking to the reporters here on Tuesday after being discharged from Thiruvananthapuram medical college hospital here, Krishnakumar complained of death threat and added that he would seek police protection.
Krishnakumar was found in a serious condition on the roadside at Valakam in Kollam district in the wee hours of September 27.
Thinking that Krishnakumar might have been knocked down by a speeding car, the eyewitness informed the matter to the Highway police and nearby shop owner. The probe team had today released the sketch of the eyewitness.
The victim’s wife Geetha, who is also a teacher of the same school owned by jailed ex-Minister R Balakrishna Pillai had given a complaint to DGP stating that the ongoing investigation was not at all satisfactory.
Geetha, had said that her husband has, of late, been not on good terms with the school management. Krishnakumar was involved in a running battle with the school management and is the prime witness in a vigilance case against it for irregularities. His wife Geetha became headmistress of the school after winning a court case against the management.
Police team is now probing the possibilities of a road accident in which Krishnakumar might have sustained serious injuries.
