India Today  

The Kerala High Court on Wednesday suspended the sentence of four individuals, including former CPI MLA KV Kunhiraman, who were sentenced to five years imprisonment in connection with the murder of two Youth Congress workers in Kasaragod five years ago. A bench of Justices PB Suresh Kumar and Jobin Sebastian put on hold the sentence following an appeal from Kunhiraman, Kanhangad block panchayat president K Manikandan, Raghavan Velutholi, and AV Bhaskaran against their conviction. The murder case dates back to February 17, 2019, when Youth Congress workers Kripesh, 19, and Sarath Lal P K, 24, were killed allegedly by CPI workers in Periya. The CBI investigation revealed that a criminal conspiracy was hatched by the accused, including CPI Periya local committee member A Peethambaran, to murder the victims due to political rivalry.
