THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Rajan, the father of the murdered woman in Amboori, said that he does not have any pre acquaintance with the prime accused Akhilesh Nair.

“I saw Akhilesh in police custody. When the police pointed at me asked whether he knows me, he replied he don’t. I didn’t had any information about Akhilesh before. A few months back when I mentioned about marriage to my daughter, she revealed about her relationship with a person. She added that she cannot marry anyone else. However, I never thought that her relationship would end in a tragedy”, Rajan told Keralakaumudi Flash.

Rajan alleged that the parents of the accused are also involved in the murder. He said that the accused had the backing and motivation of the parents to do the crime. This is the reason why they could do the crime and bury the body in the premises of their house, he alleged.

“Akhilesh’s father Maniyan had revealed that he was with his son while digging the pit. But his claim that he thought the hole was made for planting a tree is unbelievable. Maniyan has also helped his sons go into hiding and was also behind the petition against the police from the military camp. They also could’ve assisted in tampering evidence. The investigation officers have been informed about this”, Rajan said.

“The police have assured that Akhilesh’s parents will be added to the accused list if there is evidence. The police investigation is satisfactory. It was an honest effort from the police’s part that solved the case within days of the crime. I hope that the police will be able to submit FIR in a timely manner and bring them to justice”, he added.
