INTUC Leader’s Murder: CBI Court Convicts 14, Including 1 CPI(M) Leader

A CBI court in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, has convicted 14 individuals, including a district-level member of the ruling CPI(M) party, for the murder of an INTUC leader in Anchal, Kollam district, in 2010.

The verdict was delivered by CBI Special Court Judge Rajeev KS on July 25, finding Gireesh, Afsal, Najumal, Shibu, Vimal, Sudheesh, Shan, Ratheesh, Biju, Renjith, Sali, and Muneer guilty of criminal conspiracy and murder under the Indian Penal Code. The court revoked their bail and ordered their imprisonment until the sentencing hearing on July 30.

Additionally, Suman P S and CPI(M) Kollam district committee member Babu Panicker were convicted for harboring an offender under Section 212 of the IPC but were granted bail. They are required to appear in court on July 30 for their sentencing hearing.

Meanwhile, four other accused, Riyas, Markson Yesudas, Jayamohan, and Roykutty, were acquitted.

According to the prosecution, INTUC leader Ramabhadran was brutally murdered in his home on the night of April 10, 2010, in front of his wife and two children. The victim’s family subsequently appealed to the Kerala High Court, which transferred the case to the CBI for further investigation.
