Further probe sought into Koothuparambu police firing

Friday, October 07, 2011: Deputy leader of Opposition Kodiyeri Balakrishnan today has demanded a further probe into the Koothuparambu police firing case on November 25, 1994.
Speaking to the reporters here on Friday, Kodiyeri added that the probe was necessary based on the revelations made by Kannur DCC president P Ramakrishanan that K Sudhakaran, MP was responsible for the police action in Koothuparambu.

Five DYFI workers KK Rajeevan, Chalakutti Babu, Madhu, Roshan and Shibulal were killed during the police firing. Ramakrishnan must be made an eyewitness in the case.
Ramakrishanan had said the Congress Party came a cropper in Kannur after the Koothuparambu firing and the elections to the governing committee meeting to the AKG hospital held after MV Raghavan coming out of the CPM.
He said that it was Sudhakaran who urged Raghavan to visit Kuthuparambu on the day of firing. The MVR-Sudhakaran nexus worked unfavourably for the Congress, he said.
