The complaint noted that the accused asked for Rs 1 lakh or three cents of land to settle a panchayat action issued against the land belonging to of church.
The accused is a DYFI state committee and CPM Cherthala area committee member.
The probe committee comprises CPM district secretariat member K Prasad and district committee member NR Baburaj. CPM district leadership assured severe action against the leader if he was found guilty of offence.
The panchayat had issued a stop memo over the construction of a new building on a plot in front of the church as a land dispute already existed between the church and panchayat.
