TP murder: Mohanan in police custody for seven days

KOZHIKODE: P Mohanan, CPM Kozhikode district secretariat member, arrested in connection with the murder of T P Chandrasekharan, has been sent to police custody for seven days. He has been charged for conspiracy and murder under sections 302, 120B of IPC. The prosecution argued that he had a major role in the crime.


A scuffle broke out between the CPM activists and police while Mohanan was produced in the court. The fight started after RMP activists were attacked by the CPM. Even though the police tried to dissuade the CPM, they pelted stones towards the police.


Police resorted to lathicharge and used water cannons to disperse the agitated mob. Leaders including CPM state panel member Elamaram Kareem were present in the court. Mohanan was brought to the court after the situation calmed a bit.
