At least 15 men associated with the Popular Front of India and its political wing Social Democratic Party of India, were accused of killing Sreenivasan in a tit-for-tat murder. Following the verdict, prosecutor Prathap G Padikkal said even the three convicted for conspiracy to murder were awarded death as the court found it to be a "rarest of rare case". “The court accepted the prosecution’s argument that it was a rarest of rare case since the accused were a well-trained team that barged into a house one early morning and cruelly hacked to death the victim before defenceless women and children,” he said, according to The New Indian Express.
