CPM has no relation with TP murder accused: Pinarayi

Saturday, June 09, 2012: CPM state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan today opined that the party has no relation with T.K Rajeesh, one of the key accused in sensational TP Chandrasekharan murder case on May 4.
The statement followed a reported confession by the prime accused, TK Rajeesh, that he had in the past committed crimes ordered by certain CPI-M leaders from Kannur.
Our party is being dragged into this case for no reason,” Pinarayi said while addressing the reporters here on Saturday.
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).
