MALAPPURAM: PV Anvar MLA has called for a probe into the involvement of former Malappuram SP Sujith Das and his Dansaf team in the murder of Ridan Basil, a native of Edavanna, who was killed in a shooting incident. Ridan was allegedly linked to the gold smuggling case in Karipur. It is suspected that he had evidence against the police on his phone, which has not been found yet. Anvar suspects that those who came to take possession of the phone might have killed him.

"Ridan was murdered on the eve of the last Eid festival. He had gone out with his friend Shan on the night of the incident and didn't return. An attempt was made to establish that Ridan's wife had an illicit relationship with Shan and that the murder was related to this. In an attempt to fabricate the story, the police subjected Ridan's wife to severe torture three days after her husband's murder. They denied her food and sleep for three consecutive days, trying to coerce her into admitting to an illicit relationship," Anvar said.

"Shan told me that he was tortured and forced to confess, but he maintained that Ridan's wife was like a sister to him and he would not admit to anything else. However, the police claimed that Shan had confessed to the crime. On the day Ridaan's body was found, the police searched the entire area but couldn't find any evidence. It was only on the fourth day that the gun was found in Shan's house, inside the firewood storage room. The police then framed two men from UP, who worked with Shan in Saudi Arabia, saying they had received training to use the gun. Thus the case was closed. Ridan's family has demanded a re-investigation or a CBI probe," said Anvar.
