PALAKKAD: The arrest of four accused in the Sreenivasan murder case has been registered. Shankhuvarathodu natives Mohammad Bilal, Riyazuddin, Mohammad Rizwan and Puthupparyaram native Sahad were arrested. Mohammad Bilal and Riyazuddin were involved in the conspiracy and were present at the time of Sreenivasan's murder.

Rizwan collected the phones of the people involved in the murder and delivered it to their homes. Sahad was involved in the conspiracy and provided assistance. Even before the six-member gang arrived on three bikes to kill Sreenivasan, some people were already present in Melamury to provide assistance.

They were the ones who observed Sreenivasan's moves and called the gang of killers and helped them to escape after the crime. Four members of the group were arrested. The ADGP said the accused had planned the murder while sitting behind the district hospital mortuary.

Three suspects in Subair's murder have been arrested but police have not been able to reach out to the conspirators. The police were able to capture the accused after checking the CCTV footage and phone calls in the Subair murder case. Following Popular Front activist Subair's death on Vishu day, RSS leader Sreenivasan was also killed in Melamury.
