Congress demands CBI probe into Muthoot murder case
September 14th, 2009 - 9:33 pm ICT by IANSThiruvananthapuram, Sep 14 (IANS) The Congress Monday demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the murder of Muthoot business group scion Paul M. George.
State Congress president Ramesh Chennithala said the probe into the murder has been “bungled completely” and people have lost faith in Kerala Police.
“The police allowed Om Prakash and P. Rajesh to escape from the state soon after George was murdered. Even a good officer like Inspector General of Police Vinson M. Paul, who is heading the investigations, cannot conduct a clean probe. Only through a CBI probe would the real truth come out,” said Chennithala.
George, 32, son of Muthoot Finance Group chairman M.C. George, was killed Aug 21 midnight near Alappuzha under suspicious circumstances while travelling in a car with Om Prakash and Rajesh, who face several criminal cases.
“(Kodiyeri) Balakrishnan has failed as a home minister. As the life and property of the people in the state are not safe, he should resign,” added Chennithala.
Last week, Om Prakash and Rajesh surrendered before a court in Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu and were handed over to the Kerala police.
The two were presented to a court in Alappuzha Monday and remanded in police custody for a week.
