THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: For the first few years of previous Oommen Chandy ministry in Kerala, Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan had ably handled the home ministry.
The credit of smoothly handling the sensational T P Chandrasekhar murder case, overcoming political pressure and helping police officers to arrest all the culprits goes to Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan.
In a recent interview to Safari channel, he revealed why the TP case was not handed over to the CBI.
“Kerala police had probed the case in a brilliant manner. There were many challenges from the Opposition (LDF). The CPM even threatened the investigation team and witnesses who reached courts of dire consequences.
If we had handed over the case to the CBI, the arrested persons would have got an opportunity to walk out of the jail. The usual practice is that the CBI that functions as per Delhi Police Act will start the investigation from the scratch and file a new charge sheet. But if the CBI fails to file the charge sheet within 90 days, the accused will get an option to apply for bail. In that case the accused, who were caught by Kerala policemen risking their life, will be able to come out of jail. But, the Kerala police filed the charge sheet on the 84th day. It was the result of an investigation that didn’t give any loophole to the accused,” he told the channel.
