Kannur: Akash Thillankeri's recent remarks took a drastic turn on Thursday after one of his friends defended the murder of Shuhaib, a Youth Congress Block Secretary in Mattannur. 

Jijo Thillankeri, a friend of Akash, wrote in a Facebook comment, "If you feel like killing, then you should kill, instead of kissing him." His remark came in reply to a Facebook post criticizing those involved in the murder of Shuhaib. 

Meanwhile, police are yet to question Akash Thillankeri in connection with misbehaving with a DYFI female leader. Earlier, police registered a case based on the complaint filed by the DYFI leader. However, not even a notice was issued by the police to question Thillankeri. 

CPM came under immense pressure the other day after Thillankeri, a former party member, posted numerous cryptic comments on social media posts, alleging that the party directed those like him to commit crimes.
