THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Opposition leader VD Satheesan expressed disappointment over the court verdict acquitting the accused in the Riyaz Moulvi murder case. Riyaz Moulvi, a teacher at Kasaragod Choori Madrasa, was brutally murdered by RSS suspects at his residence near the madrasa, he stated.

Satheesan criticized the government for handling the case lightly, attributing the failure to the police and the administrative leadership. He remarked that the acquittal of the accused strengthens suspicions that the police and prosecution may have attempted to sabotage the case from the outset.
