KASARGOD: It has been alleged that the government is trying to sabotage the Kasargode twin murder case. They had removed the investigation officer once again intensifying the strength of allegations. SP V M Muhammed Rafeeq, who led the crime branch investigation was removed on the fifth day of investigation. He was transferred to Ernakulam.
