Achuthanandan seeks CBI probe in sex scandal case
September 2nd, 2011 - 7:31 pm ICT by IANSKochi, Sep 2 (IANS) Kerala’s Leader of Opposition V.S. Achuthanandan Friday filed a petition in the high court seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the two-decade-old Kozhikode sex scandal case involving state minister and Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) leader P.K. Kunhalikutty.
Achuthanandan’s petition contended that only the CBI can come out with the real truth based on several new revelations made by Kunhalikutty’s relative K.A. Rauf on how Kunhalikutty managed to escape the law by allegedly influencing even the judiciary.
The case of sexual abuse of a minor girl, which allegedly involved Kunhalikutty, the now state industry minister, was closed by the courts in 2006.
The alleged sex racket in early 1990s involved an icecream parlour in Kozhikode as its base and was named the “ice cream parlour sex case” by the media.
In January, Rauf (whose wife is the sister of Kunhalikutty’s wife) made the allegation at a press conference and Achuthanandan, the then chief minister, ordered Additional Director General of Police Vinson M. Paul to begin a new inquiry in the case.
The Achuthanandan-headed Left Democratic Front government was defeated in the April assembly polls by the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) and Oommen Chandy became the chief minister.
