KOZHIKODE: Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said the state government would again write to the Centre seeking a CBI probe into the 'conspiracy' behind the murder of RMP leader T P Chandrasekharan.
"We will support the demand (by the slain leader's wife K K Rema), we will not hesitate to ask for a investigation by the CBI into the conspiracy angle of the murder and write to the Centre again", he told reporters here.
He was responding to a question on Rema recently writing a letter to the Centre pressing for a CBI probe into the killing of her husband in 2012. Chandrasekharan, a CPI-M rebel who floated a parallel Left outfit called Revolutionary Marxist Party in his home turf Onchiyam in north Kerala, was hacked to death in May 2012.
A court had in 2014 sentenced 11 persons, three of them local CPI-M functionaries, to life imprisonment. However, Rema had alleged that bigwigs of CPI-M were involved in the conspiracy to murder Chandrasekheran. Rema had recently approached the Union Personnel Ministry requesting to take a re-look into the CBI's stance that it cannot investigate the case.
In May 2014, the CBI had sent a report to the Ministry of Personnel saying that it saw no role in the case as the matter had already been investigated by the local police.
