Mangalore, December 20: A demonstration was staged condemning the 'misleading' Central Bureau of Investigation report on the mysterious death of former Mangalore Qazi C M Abdullah Musliyar Chembarika in the city on Tuesday.

Urging the Central Government to order a high-level CBI inquiry under the supervision of Kerala High Court into this unsolved case, the protesters took out a rally from the Ambedkar Circle and converged in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner.

Addressing the protesters, Zeinul Abdeen Thangal, president of All Kerala Jameeathul Ulema, said, “Despite the prolonged investigation into the two year old mysterious death of then Mangalore Qazi, the investigators have failed to unveil truth. “Our protest will continue until the real culprits are caught”, he said.

“There have been many lies told by the corrupt officials. Law is being twisted and the the pressure is being exerted on the judiciary too”, he said.

How can the CBI claim that Qazi committed suicide when wounds were found behind his neck?, he questioned, adding that this is practically impossible and hence a high level probe is need of the hour.

“A new team must investigate the death of the Qazi. CBI opened the case and shut it due to lack of evidence. We need it to be re-opened. Those who are hiding must be caught,” he reiterated.

The Muslim Central Committee president K S Mohammed Masood in his address said, any enquiry must be fruitful. “We don't believe the CBI's version that it was a suicide. No Muslim, especially a Qazi can commit suicide in any case. CBI being the best investigating body should not be so careless” he said.

Mangalore Qazi Thwaqa Ahmed Musliyar, former Mayor Ashraf, and a galaxy of religious leaders including Abdul Aziz Kallaga and Jabbar Ustad were present.

The body of Musliyar was found on the sea shore near his home in Kasargod district on 15 February 2010. According to the post-mortem report, his spinal cord was broken even before his death and several wound were also found on his body. A pair of sandals, torchlight and a walking stick was found on the rock just a few yards from the place where his body was found lying. However, after 11 months of investigation the CBI had claimed that it was a suicide.
