22 years after RSS workers Sujeesh and Sunil were hacked to death by CPIM goons, SC upholds life sentence given to 5 convicts

Op India  

On Monday, the Supreme Court upheld the life sentences of 5 Communist Party of India members for the murder of 2 Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh workers Sujeesh and Sunil in Kerala’s Thalassery in 2002. While rejecting the plea moved by convicts Panniyodan Sivadasan alias Sivatty, Edakandi Ashokan alias Kokkodan Ashokan, Vellora Pradeepan alias Eduppi Pradeepan and Badiyil Reneef, the court said that there was no error in the High Court’s decision to uphold the Trial Court’s judgement awarding life term to the CPIM members. Another convict Ekandi Dinesan had died during the pendency of the petition challenging the Kerala High Court’s decision to uphold the sentencing of the convicts. Following this, the convicts filed a plea in the Supreme Court challenging the High Court’s decision contenting that the alleged contradictions in witness testimonies raise doubt on the involvement of the convicts in the murder.
