Palakkad, Feb 28: Five persons have been arrested by the Mannarkad police in Kerala’s Palakkad district in connection with the murder of the Safeer, who was an activist of Youth League, the youth wing of the Indian Union Muslin League (IUML).
22-year-old Safeer, a native of Kunthippuzha, was stabbed to death by the assailants who barged into his textiles shop last Sunday night. He is the son of Siraj, a municipal councilor.
The arrested were identified as Abdul Basheer alias Podi Basheer, 24, of Kunthipuzha, Mohammed Sharjin, 20, Kottopadam, Raashid, 24, Mohammed Subhan, 20, Ajeesh P. alias Appukuttan, 24. All of them are said to be the workers of Communist Party of India (CPI), the second largest ally of the state's ruling front. Personal grudge led to the murder, the police said.
The assailants, all hailing from Nambiyankunnu near Kunthippuzha, came by an auto-rickshaw. They also had links with some criminal gangs, the police said.
Meanwhile, widespread violence was reported from various part of Palakkad in the hartal called by the IUML in Mannarkkad area to protest against the murder.
The protesters blocked roads on the stretch between Kozhikode and Palakkad. They destroyed windows of cars and attacked some journalists. Tension prevailed in Mannarkkad-Kalladikode areas even as the police stood mute witness to the violence.
The kidnapped schoolboy was rescued by the police and reunited with his parents. Son of a gift shop owner from Basavanagudi area in Bengaluru, Chirag has reportedly told police that decided to make some quick money to spend on cricket betting and gambling after learning kidnap tricks from the ‘Crime Patrol’. According to police, Chirag reached a private school around 3pm on Tuesday on a Bounce rental bike and zeroed in on a fourth standard student who was walking out of school. He told the boy he was his father's friend and that he required help to search for a relative who had gone missing. The boy believed Chirag and rode pillion on the bike. Chirag then engaged the boy in conversation and learnt about his father's business and got his mobile phone number. He then made a call to the boy's father, demanded Rs 5 lakh and warned him against approaching cops. However, the boy's father alerted Cottonpet police and special teams were formed to crack the case. While Cottonpet inspector Venkatesh TC's squad verified CCTV footage in and around the school, Chamarajpet inspector BG Kumaraswamy's team started tracking the suspect's mobile phone movements. An hour later, the suspect's location was traced to a hotel on the Lavelle Road-St Mark's Road stretch. Police rushed there, rescued the boy and arrested Chirag.

Dear unknown,
you are the only third grade person in the world who bring religion in all matter,
who is hitler ? kill is uncontable
who is bush ? kill is uncountable
who is modi? killer of gujrath genoicide
people with black suite sitting in parliment and who put bomb on innocient civilin are great & patroit people.
people who fight back are criminal and terror.
we are proud of our islamic religion and not like your assh*le religion who worship million god without address
replace your gobar brain to human brain!! life will enlight
Why these brainless people are killing each other for party.. That killers fate also will be same. But it will be by some other goons
Again political rivalry came into limelight
Shameless creature.. they all doing to defame Islam. True follower of Islam wont do such things
Arrest all goons. Police hesitate to arrest most of the goons because they are working for party as their goon
To where these youths heading.. Shocking
Interesting fact is while classifying terrorists and criminals on the basis of their religion, Most of them are Muslims. I dont know why, but still they will address them as peace lovers and their religion is peaceful one
Inna lillah. I could not understand why Muslim youths are following Shaitaan and making their way to Jahannum. Will they be able to return the life of the youth? Why are they blind? why cant live and let leave other peacefully. No political party will come to your help when you need it. Political party will use you for the benefit only. May Allah bless the deceased with magfirah and bless with right way of thinking to the youths who are running away from right path.
