ALAPPUZHA: Sajeevan, a local CPM leader in Thottapalli is missing since the past 43 days. KPCC chief K Sudhakaran demanded a CBI probe in the case. He was talking to the media after visiting Sajeevan's house.

Sajeevan went missing with the knowledge of the CPM top leadership, said Sudhakaran. Although the police questioned more than 25 people including the CPM Thottapalli local secretary in the case, no clue has been obtained.

The family had filed a habeas corpus plea in the high court on the disappearance of Sajeevan, a member of the Thottapalli Poothoppu branch and a fisherman. The court has sought a report from the police. The court will consider the case again next week.
