Kannur: CPM Secretary MV Govindan has stated that both the party and the government will thoroughly investigate the allegations made by MLA PV Anwar against senior police officials and Chief Minister’s Political Secretary P Sasi. Govindan assured that all aspects of the revelations will be examined and appropriate action taken.

In response to Anvar’s claims, Director General of Police (DGP) Sheikh Darvesh Saheb met Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan at the Kottayam Nattakom guest house. Amidst the ongoing controversy, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) M. R. Ajith Kumar and Chief Minister Vijayan are attending a Police Association meeting together.

Recently, Left MLA PV Anvar made serious allegations against ADGP M. R. Ajith Kumar, Pathanamthitta District Police Chief S. Sujith Das, and Chief Minister’s Political Secretary P. Sasi. Anvar’s accusations have put the Home Department, led by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, in a difficult position.

Revelations on custodial death of Tamir Jifri

In a latest revelation, MLA PV Anvar has released a phone conversation involving SP Sujith Das, revealing that the death of Tamir Jifri in police custody was due to neglect of crucial medical information. The conversation discloses that two MDMA packets ingested by Jifri were unknown to both the police and other individuals present. One of these packets ruptured Jifri’s stomach, leading to a critical condition where 90 percent of his arteries were blocked, potentially causing a fatal heart condition. Jifri was held at the station for four hours before being sent to the hospital. Had the severity of his condition been known earlier, he could have been taken to the hospital sooner. The involved police officers have been granted bail, and an investigation is underway.
