THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Leader of Opposition Ramesh Chennithala alleged that CPM district leadership is protecting DySP Harikumar, who murdered a youth by pushing him to the front of a moving car. He was inaugurating the state-wide journey organized by K Muraleedharan demanding to preserve our rituals. “CPM is nurturing BJP in Kerala. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan talks communism in the daylight and meets BJP leaders in the night. The government has issued an order that all vehicles going to Sabarimala should obtain a police pass. How can a vehicle coming from another state obtain this pass? Such orders are pointless”, alleged Chennithala. Meantime, Kadakampally Surendran clarified that Harikumar will be arrested immediately. He said that the government will not protect the accused. The police is trying to arrest Harikumar immediately. Thirty of his relatives are under police observation. Investigation team has clarified that his relatives will be interrogated again.
