THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In the wake of Jishnu Pronoy’s mother Mahija's open letter to Pinarayi Vijayan doing rounds in the social media, the Kerala CM, while breaking his silence, clarified that instructions were given to the police chief to intensify the probe.
The state police was also instructed to include demands raised in her petition to the education minister C. Raveendranath, under the investigation's purview.
"Government has taken a considerate approach towards Jishnu's family. The cabinet met on the fifth day of his death, decided to give a solatium of Rs 10 lakh to the family. Within two days, excise minister TP Ramakrishnan visited them and directly handed over the money," the CM said in a Facebook post.
He also pointed out that it is for the state police chief to furnish a reply to the complainant once the probe is over. The opposition leader who raised the issue too has been given a reply in this regard, the CM said.
