Thiruvananthapuram: KK Rema MLA on Monday lashed out at the police for killing a youth in front of a station in Kottayam. Rema wrote on social media that the goons were walking on the shoulders of the police system in Kerala. “Criminals have more influence here than anyone else and the justice and security of the people are far from being under a deeply criminalized system,” Rema said.
Full version of Rema’s post
Even today, the news of another murder came as a shock to my conscience. In Kottayam, a 19-year-old man was brutally murdered by goons and his body was carried on his shoulders in front of the police station, after which he directly informed the police that he had killed himself. Where do goons get so much courage and confidence?
The mother of Shaan Babu, who was killed yesterday after her son was abducted by a goonda in Kottayam, had lodged a clear complaint with the police, but the police had returned the mother with the constant refrain that they could be investigated. The goons are walking on the shoulders of the police system in Kerala. In a country where the home department and the police are home to criminals, such killings are no longer news.
The Kerala Police was trying to lure journalists and public activists into the surveillance zone instead of the goons through the ‘Operation Guard’ project launched to nab the goons. According to the police, the deported criminal had entered Kottayam district a week ago.
The murder was the result of the release of such a person without even being kept under police surveillance for a week. Criminals have more influence here than anyone else. Security and justice for the people are always far away under a system that is deeply criminalized.
