PATHANAMTHITTA: If the MLA has a role in Periya murder, then the evidence on it should be given to the investigating officials, said CPM state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan. Preliminary investigation is going on now. If the CBI is probing all the cases in Kerala, then what is the Kerala Police for, asked Kodiyeri.

Kodiyeri said the investigation is ongoing. Seeking a CBI probe in this phase is without understanding things. The family of the victims are seeking a CBI probe maybe as part of an opinion. If they have any opinion like that, they should inform the concerned people, he told reporters here.

If a CBI probe is sought in all events taking place in Kerala, then it is better to disband the Kerala police, Kodiyeri said.
