Idukki (Kerala): Two
days after a top CPI-M Kerala leader claimed his party had
physically annihilated foes in Idukki district, police Monday
registered three cases of murder and conspiracy against him.
According to police, cases were registered in Thodupuzha, around
220 km from state capital Thiruvananthapuram, against M.M. Moni,
Idukki district secretary of the Communist Part of India-Marxist.
Moni sent shock waves Friday night when he told a public rally in
the Santhampara area in Thodupuzha that the CPI-M has in the past
resorted to killing political foes and listed out four such
murders.
These murders reportedly took place in Idukki district in the
1980s.
Police said three of the four murder cases were dismissed for want
of evidence and those arrested were let off after the trial.
"Since the cases have been registered under non-bailable sections
(sections 302 and 109 of the Indian Penal Code), the arrest of
Moni should take place anytime," a legal expert told IANS.
Kerala's Director General of Police T. Asif Ali had given a legal
opinion that the cases could be reopened in view of the new
disclosures by the CPI-M leader. The Oommen Chandy government had
also said that Moni's revelation was "a very serious issue."
Known for his fiery diatribe, Moni had said that in the past, his
party activists in one case shot dead one of their political
adversaries; in another one person was stabbed to death; and yet
in another case, a person was beaten to death.
He went on to add that CPI-M is one such party which owns up the
crimes it commits.
With the CPI-M in the dock over two murders (T.P. Chandrasekharan
on May 4 and Shukoor murder case in February this year) and with a
number of its cadres arrested for their involvement in them,
Moni's revelations have doled out another blow to the party.
