The National Investigation Agency (NIA) submitted a chargesheet on Wednesday to the special court handling NIA cases, implicating seven suspects in the murder of special sub-inspector (SSI) Wilson, who was killed in Kaliyakavilai, Kanyakumari on 8 January 2020.

According to the police, Wilson, who was stationed at the Kaliyakavilai police station, was performing his duties at a checkpoint on the Tamil Nadu-Kerala border in Kanyakumari district when he was shot and stabbed to death by fundamentalists.

The police arrested seven individuals in connection with the case: Abdul Shamim, 30; Taufiq, 27; Khaja Moideen, 53; Mehboob Pasha, 48; Ijaz Pasha, 46; Zafar Ali, 26; and Sikkabuddin, 36. The investigation revealed their connections to terrorist activities.

The case was initially managed by the state police but was later transferred to the NIA. The seven suspects were transported from prisons in Delhi, Bangalore, and Salem under heavy police security to be presented before Judge Ilavalagan, after which they were escorted back to their respective prisons.
