KOTTAYAM: The family of Kevin is against reinstating Gandhi Nagar former sub inspector Shibu back into service. The main reason for the murder of Kevin is the indifference attitude of Shibu. Joseph, Kevin’s father said that a complaint will be given to the chief minister, opposition leader and human rights commission.

Gandhi Nagar sub inspector M S Shibu was reinstated the other day when a decision was taken to suspend him following the flaws found in the probe in Kevin murder case. The decision to suspend him was cancelled following the explanation given by Shibu.

IG Vijay Sakhare released an order reinstating him into service on the first death anniversary of Kevin. Kevin murder case brought embarrassment to the whole police force in the state.

After finding flaws in the probe, a departmental level inquiry was ordered against the cops. As per that, a decision was taken to suspend Shibu and a notice was also issued. The decision to suspend him was withdrawn following his reply to the notice.

The family of Kevin staged protests against the act of the IG. The sub inspector’s carelessness led to the murder of Kevin, alleged his father Joseph. The probe found serious lapses from the side of Shibu. Shibu neither registered a case nor conducted a probe even after knowing that Kevin was abducted. Though a FIR was registered on the statement of Aneesh, released by the miscreants, he delayed the probe.

He denied justice citing security charge of the chief minister. He misbehaved to Neenu and Kevin on the previous day of his death.
