CBI rules out involvement of RSS workers in 2006 Muhammad Fasal murder in Kerala, finds involvement of CPI (M) in political murder

Op India  

The CBI in its report submitted to the special CBI court of Ernakulam in Kerala on November 5 has reiterated that the workers of the RSS had no role in the murder of Muhammad Fasal. The CBI which arrested and charge-sheeted two CPI leaders and their six associated in this murder case, launched a fresh probe on the order of Kerala high court following a twist in this case after Kerala police claimed that an RSS worker Kuppi Subeesh has confessed his involvement in Fasal murder case. Reiterating its earlier probe, the CBI has said that two CPI leaders from the Kannur district of Kerala namely Karayi Rajan and Karayi Chandrasekharan had planned this political murder. CBI discards Kerala police theory As far as the confession of an RSS worker, Kuppi Subeesh about his involvement in this murder is concerned, the CBI has told the court that Kerala police had forced Subeesh to make a confession while he was in police custody. A former investigating officer of this case DSP K. Radhakrishnan said that CPI had turned hostile Fasal as he was attracted young Muslims to join the National Development Front.
