Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Police Tuesday informed a
court here that a sub-inspector arrested for allegedly sending a
forged letter to the media has links with banned outfits.
Police told the Thiruvananthapuram judicial magistrate court
Tuesday that they have stumbled upon crucial evidence that
subinspector Biju Salim has links with banned outfits and hence
they should be given his custody to crack the case.
The court allowed police to keep Salim till March 27.
Salim, who was with the High-Tech cell of Kerala police, had been
arrested Sunday and sent to judicial custody. He has been accused
of sending out a forged letter to the media saying the government
wanted 268 e-mail IDs snooped upon.
The Oommen Chandy government was left gasping in January when a
Malayalam weekly magazine published a letter purportedly sent by a
top intelligence official to the High-Tech Cell with the list of
e-mail addresses to be probed.
Among the list of e-mail IDs, more than 230 belonged to members of
the Muslim community. It created a huge uproar in the state as
many felt that a particular community was being kept under the
scanner.
Chandy came under heavy attack and announced a probe into it.
The preliminary probe found the documents which led to the e-mail
row were leaked from the High-Tech Cell of Kerala Police. But
finally the letter published by the media was found to be
fabricated and leaked to the media by Salim.
Police claim to have found out that a conspiracy on this was
hatched in Kozhikode and here. Crucial documents and CDs have been
recovered from Salim and police have zeroed in on a few others who
allegedly helped Salim, say police.
