Nidhin (28), a local BJP leader was murdered by a group of persons on Saturday in Kerala’s Thrissur district. Nidhin was travelling in a car when he was waylaid by a group of persons alleged to be CPI(M) workers.
The incident comes a day after an unsuccessful attempt on the life of AP Abdullakutty, BJP’s national vice president at Malappuram.
Nidhin was an accused in the murder of Aadarsh in July 2020. The charge against Nidhin was that he had tried to help the killers of Aadarsh to escape from the scene of the murder.
K Surendran, president of Kerala BJP , demanded a thorough probe on the role of Minister for Local Self Government A C Moideen in Nidhin’s murder.
“Modieen was camping at Thrissur, travelling all over the district and conspiring with CPI(M) workers to annihilate Sangh Parivar leaders. He had unleashed a fake campaign that Sanoop, a CPI(M) worker, was murdered by RSS activists whereas it was the result of turf war between various goonda gangs,” said Surendran.
He also pointed out that Moideen was a suspect in the multi-crore LIFE Mission scam which is under probe by the CBI. The Minister was not available for comments.
