Civil Police Officer (CPO) Anaz, working at Karimannoor police station in Thodupuzha, Kerala’s Idukki district, was suspended for leaking information to members of the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI). The leak was discovered when a few SDPI workers in custody were questioned by the police.
The workers had been taken into custody for attacking a Kerala government bus conductor in Mangattukavala over alleged communal posts. During the interrogation, they revealed their source of information as CPO Anaz.
A department-level inquiry found CPO Anaz guilty and he was then transferred to district headquarters. The investigation report was submitted by Thodupuzha Deputy Superintendent of Police K Sadan.
The report confirms that Anaz had revealed details of several BJP-RSS members to SDPI cadre. His phone was also checked by higher officials. Further investigation is underway in the case.
SDPI activists involved in several murders of BJP-RSS workers
SDPI is the political wing of the Popular Front of India (PFI), a notorious radical Islamic organisation. PFI and SDPI cadre have allegedly been involved in the murders of several BJP and RSS workers in Kerala. Recently, a 27-year old RSS worker was hacked to death in the Mambaram area of Kerala’s Palakkad district. An SDPI worker had been arrested in connection with the crime.
BJP state president K Surendran alleged it was a ‘planned murder’ and blamed the failure on the part of the police and state government in occurring such incidents in the state.
