Four more held in T.P Chandrasekharan murder case

Tuesday, May 15, 2012: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Tuesday took into custody four more accused in a case relating to the gruesome murder of RMP leader T.P Chandrasekharan at Vadakara on May 4.
According to the police the four accused identified as Dipu, Pradeep, Renjith and Raveendran have close connection with Kodi Suni and Rafeek, the two main accused in the murder case.
The key suspect Kodi Suni, who was in the jail serving sentence in a murder case, was released last month. Rafeek is also involved in some 29 cases, including murder. According to police sources, Kodi Suni and Rafeek are professional goons, who commit murders for money. T.P. Chandrasekharan, 51, was killed in Onchiyam near here Friday night while returning home on a two-wheeler. Chandrasekharan, once a prominent CPI(M) leader in the party stronghold Onjiyam in Kozhikode district, was expelled a few years ago after he fell out with the leadership. He later joined the RMP floated by CPI(M) rebels and wrested control of Onjiyam village panchayat, ending decades-old rule of the CPI(M).
