Jolly had close ties with political leaders, more calls to BSNL employee

KOZHIKODE: Reports said Jolly, the main accused in the Koodathayi murders, frequently called a BSNL employee identified as Johnson, before she was arrested. He said that Jolly is his close friend and that he had many times pawned Jolly’s ornaments, but there was no financial dealings with her, he said.

Johnson, a native of Koodathayi is now working in Tirupur. Jolly, who has a close relationship with CPM, Congress and Muslim League leaders and a woman tahsildar, had called them many times. The police is likely to question them today itself. Their statements were taken earlier.
