A former legislator of the ruling Left has been named as an accused in a 2019 murder case in which two Youth Congress leaders were killed in Kerala's Kasaragod district.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is probing the case, has not yet arrested V Kunjiraman. Mr Kunjiraman has earlier represented Uduma constituency in Kasaragod district and is now a member of CPI(M) district secretariat.
"He allegedly helped one of the accused after they committed the crime. His role for now is not directly linked to the murder of the victims. Further probe is underway," a CBI source told NDTV.
Meanwhile, five CPI(M) workers arrested by the CBI in the murder case have been sent to judicial custody till December 15 by the Ernakulam Chief Judicial Magistrate. One of them, CBI sources said, is the party's local branch secretary.
