Kochi: Twenty20 chief coordinator Sabu M Jacob on Saturday levelled serious allegations against CPM over the murder of a party worker. The murder of Deepu was pre-meditated. The accused contacted Kunnathunadu MLA PV Srinijin before and after the incident, he said. Srinijin should be the first accused in the case, Sabu said.
The Kitex MD also said that around 50 workers of Twenty20 were attacked after Srinijin became MLA. When a complaint is lodged, they were forced to withdraw it. CPM is terrorising people of all four grama panchayats ruled by the Twenty20, he added.
