19 murder convicts granted parole before Youth Cong leader Shuaib’s murder

Kerala's Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala on Friday claimed a political conspiracy in the murder of Youth Congress leader M Shuaib in Kannur, by pointing out that 19 murder case convicts were granted parole ahead of the killing.

Chennithala released to the media copies of a home department order dated January 23, 2018, that carries the recommendation by a review committee to grant conditional parole to the prisoners.

Parole of other prisoners who were already out was also extended on January 16, 22, 23 and 24, he said.

The CPM-led state government is facing the Opposition's heat over the gruesome killing, with the Congress maintaining that the assailants are affiliated to the ruling party.

Shuaib (30), Youth Congress block secretary in Mattannur, died on Tuesday after sustaining serious injuries in an armed attack at Theroor.

He is reported to have sustained 37 injuries below his waist. Two other Congress workers were also injured in the attack.

"The police don't have to search in the dark for the killers. They just need to interrogate the local CPM leadership," Chennithala said.

The 19 prisoners who were granted parole include Sunilkumar aka Kodi Suni, P K Rajeesh and Anoop, all convicted in the 2012 murder of T P Chandrasekharan, who left the CPM to form the Revolutionary Marxist Party.

"The CPM criminals have followed the pattern of their earlier killings. The party has plotted and executed this murder through its killer squads," Chennithala said.

He claimed that the police are waiting for a list of "dummy" names from the CPM to make arrests. Shuaib was involved in recent clashes between student wings of the CPM and Congress.

Even as the local CPM leadership refuted allegations of its involvement in the murder, the Congress has also claimed that Shuaib was earlier marked for murder in a sub-jail by inmates affiliated to the CPM.

Bengaluru, Jun 15: As the central government has not allowed reopening of gyms in the country amid COVID-19 pandemic, many gymnasiums in Bengaluru are on the verge of closing or sale.

Rakshith Gowda, a gym owner and secretary of gym owners association told ANI that they are not even able to pay rent of the premises which is Rs 60,000 to 1 lakh per month.

"The condition of the owners of the gym have worsened. We have to pay a minimum of Rs 60,000 - 100,000 rent of the building and for past 4 months we couldn't pay the rent, salary to trainers and cleaners, EMI," Gowda said.

"I urge the government to take necessary steps to bring up the gym sector as they have allowed opening up of shops, temples, malls. We urge the government to take proper steps in the interest of gyms," added Gowda.

Mahesh, a gymer said that he had to participate in a competition and due to lockdown he could not work on his bodybuilding.

"I was building my body for one year and due to lockdown I couldn't do the workout, I had to take part in a competition, now I need at least another one year to build my body back," Mahesh said.

Prasad, international bodybuilder said, "Most of the bodybuilders and gym owners are running gyms by taking loans, they are not in the situation to pay their loan EMIs."

"It's very important for us to reopen gyms and run them with all precautions and guidelines but the government is not allowing us to pay our loans and many gym owners and trainers are facing a tough time to earn living. We have requested Deputy Chief Minister Govind Karjol and cabinet ministers to allow us to open, but the government hasn't taken the decision in the interest of gyms which is creating more problems for us," Prasad said.
