Kerala Government’s veiled help for PFI continues

KSRTC BUS DAMAGED IN KERALA ON SEPTEMBER 23 (Images courtesy The Hindu)

On 19 December, the Kerala High Court of Justice A K Jayasankaran Nambiar asked the state government the reason for the delay in attaching the properties of the terrorist organization PFI (Popular Front of India). Earlier, the court had ordered the state government to recover Rs 5.20 crore from the office-bearers of the now-banned PFI and its State General Secretary, Abdul Sathar. PFI terrorists had caused widespread damage and violence after calling for a flash hartal on 23 September.  

In his order on Monday, Justice Nambiar stated that the state government had done nothing substantial towards complying with its earlier order to take steps towards the realization of Rs 5.20 crore by invoking the provisions of the Revenue Recovery Act to proceed against the PFI and its office-bearers.

The court directed that the additional chief secretary from the Kerala Home Department should personally appear in court on 23 December. The Home Secretary should submit an affidavit detailing the time frame within which the directions for the recovery of the amount would be completed.

National Investigation Agency (NIA) officers conducted a pre-dawn swoop and arrested around 100 top PFI terrorists on 23 September. For almost one week, their supporters unleashed widespread violence and vandalized public property across Kerala. Alleged political interference meant local police had their hands tied and remained mute spectators. PFI was banned by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) on 28 September 2022 for five years. 

On 23 September, many Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) buses were attacked by violent hartal supporters, especially in Muslim-dominated areas. KSRTC, in its plea, contended that the hartal was called without advance notice, a violation of the High Court’s orders. The violence and stone pelting resulted in smashed windscreens and damaged seats on 58 buses.

Ten KSRTC employees and one passenger were also injured. Incidentally, the communist regime tried to pass off the incident slyly and initially mentioned losses of just 42 lakhs. Had Justice Devan Ramachandran not interfered and questioned the government’s logic, wouldn’t the PFI terrorists be out on the streets? They would have paid less than 1/10th of the losses to the exchequer.

Traders affiliated with the Kerala Chamber of Commerce and Industries moved the high court after they suffered losses. Both public and private property were also damaged, causing huge losses. Fear set in, massive public protests broke out, and there was unpredicted resentment against the PFI. Police then began arresting hundreds of PFI supporters in connection with the violence.

Sathar, the then PFI State General Secretary (he was not arrested on 23 September), called for the hartal, absconded, and announced the terror outfit’s disbandment. He was finally arrested on 28 September and handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

It was alleged that this short interval allowed Sathar and his accomplices to shift weapons, books of accounts, and other evidence from Kerala to other states with the connivance of Keralite politicians. Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan had ordered Kerala police not to show any haste in clamping down on these terrorists. Kerala police acted like mere puppets in the hands of their political masters.

Luckily, by the end of September, NIA officers stealthily took at least 250 top PFI terrorists into custody. In Kerala, they did not request police backup. Some media reports suggested that they shunned the Kerala police and brought in CRPF personnel for protection, security, and surveillance.

By then, the High Court was forced to initiate suo moto contempt proceedings against the PFI and its office-bearers. After the hartal, the court noted that the flash strike was against its 2019 directive. It specified that hartals should not affect the rights of those not associated with the protests. The 2019 order had also fixed a seven-day notice period before any hartal. 

The court directed the Kerala government to recover the damages from PFI and its leaders. Sathar had caused considerable damage in that short timeframe when he was on the loose. The court also directed the state government to make Sathar an additional accused in all hartal violence cases.

On 8 November, the government swore in court that proper directions had been given to the revenue department for initiating recovery proceedings. Revenue officials were asked to prepare a detailed report of the properties/assets of the criminals. The Kerala government promised the court that recovery would be completed within a month. Allegedly, they did nothing and bided their time.

In early November, the government admitted in court that private persons suffered losses worth Rs 16 lakh during the violent hartal. It also said that the process to reclaim the loss from those who called for the violent hartal had been initiated. The Kerala government claimed they had appointed former district judge P D Shargadharan as the Claims Commissioner. By then, Kerala police had registered 361 cases and arrested 2,674 people in connection with the violence that happened on hartal day. 

When the matter came up before the court this Monday, the home department, in an affidavit, said that the revenue department had already issued directions to all 14 district collectors to identify the movable and immovable properties of the respondents urgently. Further, a requisition authority has to be appointed to help the district collectors.

The revenue department informed the High Court that it was practically impossible to complete the above procedure within one month. What did Claims Commissioner Shargadharan and the Kerala government do all this while remains unknown.  

Responding to the government’s stand, the court observed, “we find the attitude of the state government to be wholly unacceptable and per se disrespectful to the directions of this court. The state government cannot adopt such a callous attitude when called upon to implement the directions of this court, especially in matters of public interest and involving destruction of public property,” the court said.

The High Court extended the time granted for compliance with the earlier directions until 31 January. This order meant that the Kerala government’s conspiracy had provided breathing space to the PFI terrorists for another six weeks. 

Meanwhile, gold smuggling using humans who carry it in their rectum goes on unhindered at a brisk pace. The mafia also uses teenagers, some as young as 16, to sell narcotics like MDMA in bulk. It is alleged that there is a mad scramble to launder the proceeds and arrange the payment of Rs. 5.20 cr. Those behind bars will be released by all means possible. 

Since PFI’s inception in 2006, more than 1,400 criminal cases have been registered against the dreaded terror outfit. The extremist organization drew inspiration from the Muslim Brotherhood. Over the years, it had observed 30 August as ‘Solidarity Day.’ The Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt, led by Mohammed Morsi, was ousted on that day in 2013. 

PFI has formed district executive committees in countries like the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. “The India Fraternity Forum (IFF) and Indian Social Forum (ISF) were PFI’s overseas fronts to engage with expatriate Muslims and their Arab paymasters. Their executive committees were responsible for sending money to PFI operatives in Bharat without leaving any trail.

The arrest of top PFI terrorists revealed that many of them, like OMA Salam, were on the Kerala government payroll. He was on ‘leave,’ toured the world to countries like Syria, and arranged crores worth of funds for PFI’s terror activities. In their quest to allegedly help the PFI and delay proceedings, will the state government approach a higher court? Only time will tell.

The authorities on Monday launched a massive eviction drive near the birthplace of Vaishnav saint Srimanta Sankardeva in Assam’s Nagaon district to clear the encroached land.

At least 600 security personnel were deployed to avoid any untoward incident during the eviction process. Nagaon Superintendent of Police Leena Doley said the eviction drive was completed in a very peaceful manner.

“People have cooperated with the administration. Nearly 80 per cent of people who had their houses, shops, etc. in the encroached area have cleared it on their own,” she said.

Nagaon district administration has carried out the eviction drive on Monday at Santijan Bazar area and it has a plan to do more such exercises at Haidubi, Lalungaon, Jamaibasti, and Balisatra of Batadrava mouza under Dhing revenue circle of the district in the next few days, a senior official said.

As per the local administration, a total of 1,200 bighas of encroached land is to be evicted.

Deputy Commissioner Narendra Kumar Shah said that the district administration has served notice to over 1,000 families to vacate the land in October.

“We started the process two months back and since then, we urged to the people of encroached land to vacate the place on their own,” he added.

Satya Ranjan Hazarika, the DIG of Central range of Assam Police also said that there was no obstruction from the people during the eviction. Notably, in September 2021, a large-scale eviction drive in the Dhalpur area of Darrang led to violence, resulting in the death of two persons.

At least 20 persons suffered injuries in a clash with the police.

Three Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists were killed in an encounter with security forces in South Kashmir’s Shopian district, officials said on Tuesday.

“Among the three neutralised local terrorists, two identified as Lateef Lone of Shopian, involved in killing of a Kashmiri Pandit Purana Krishna Bhat; and Umer Nazir of Anantnag, involved in killing of Till Bahadur Thapa of Nepal. One AK-47 rifle and two pistols recovered,” the J&K Police quoting Additional Director General Police Kashmir zone Vijay Kumar said in a tweet.

The encounter started after a joint team of police and security forces received a tip-off about the presence of terrorists in that the Munjh Marg area. After the area was cordoned off, terrorists started firing drawing retaliation by the security forces.

Purana Krishna Bhat was shot and killed by Islamic terrorists outside his ancestral home in Chaudrigund village, Shopian on October 15. Terror organisation Kashmir Freedom Fighters (KFF) – a new proxy Pak-backed terror group like The Resistance Front (TRF) – claimed responsibility for his murder.

Bhat had shifted his wife and two children – son Shanu studying in Class 5 and daughter Shreya in Class 7 – to Jammu in the aftermath of the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020. Before that, all of them were living in Shopian. He and his brother used to frequently visit their ancestral home to attend to their apple orchard, as the apple trade was the only source of money for providing for their family.

गाजियाबाद: खोड़ा की एक लड़की ने की इरफ़ान द्वारा ब्लैकमेल किए जाने पर आत्महत्या

दिल्ली से सटे गाजियाबाद में खोड़ा से एक लड़की के आत्महत्या का समाचार सामने आ रहा है। समाचार आ रहा है कि एक 18 वर्षीय छात्रा ने सोमवार शाम को इरफ़ान के हाथों छेड़छाड़ से परेशान होकर आत्महत्या कर ली। कहा जा रहा है कि इरफ़ान ने उस लड़की को प्यार के जाल में अश्लील वीडियो बना लिया था और फिर उसे सोशल मीडिया पर वायरल कर दिया।

लड़की का परिवार इरफान से बहुत परेशान था और उन्होंने शिकायत दर्ज कराई थी और यह भी बताया था कि वह उसे स्कूल आते जाते छेड़ा करता था। वहीं भास्कर के अनुसार आरोपी इरफ़ान एक फ़ूड कम्पनी में डिलीवरी बॉय का काम करता है और इसने पहले इस छात्रा से दोस्ती की और उसके बाद अश्लील वीडियो बना लिया।

18 वर्षीय छात्रा अपनी वीडियो सोशल मीडिया पर देखकर परेशान हो गयी और बदनामी के डर से उसने फांसी लगा ली। वह दिल्ली के कल्याणपुरी में सरकारी स्कूल में कक्षा 12 में पढ़ती थी। उसके मातापिता दोनों ही नौकरी करते हैं एवं वह लोग सोमवार को अपने काम पर गए थे जब उस छात्रा ने यह कदम उठाया।

हालांकि परिवार वाले इरफ़ान के घर पर भी उसकी शिकायत करने के लिए गए थे। मगर आरोप है कि इरफ़ान के घर वालों ने उनकी बात न सुनकर अपनी ही औलाद का पक्ष लेते हुए लड़की के पिता को भगा दिया था। फिर वह लोग थाना खोड़ा में गए थे और उन्होंने आरोपी इरफ़ान के खिलाफ शिकायत की थी। मगर पिता के अनुसार पुलिस ने वायरल वीडियो माँगा और बिना सबूत के कोई कदम उठाने से इंकार कर दिया।

इस पर वह छात्रा और निराश हो गयी थी।

छात्रा द्वारा आत्महत्या की सूचना मिलने पर पुलिस ने आरोपी और उसके परिवार वालों की तलाश चालू कर दी है।

परन्तु यहाँ पर प्रश्न यह है कि छात्रा जब शिकायत दर्ज करने गयी थी तो शिकायत क्यों नहीं दर्ज की गयी क्योंकि छात्रा के पिता का कहना है कि यदि पुलिस पहले कदम उठा लेती तो उनकी बेटी इतना बड़ा कदम नहीं उठाती!

यह विडंबना है कि पुलिस द्वारा समय पर कदम न उठाने का दंड लड़की को अपनी जान देकर चुकाना पड़ा। यहाँ यह भी बात समझने योग्य है कि बच्चियों को विवाह से पूर्व यौन संबंधों जैसे विषयों पर खुलकर समझाया जाए।

उन्हें सीमाएं समझानी ही होंगी क्योंकि उन्हें नहीं पता होता है कि मात्र कुछ क्षणों की कथित आजादी का आनंद उनके पूरे जीवन को लील सकता है।

उन्हें नहीं पता होता कि वह जिस प्यार की आजादी के जाल में फंस रही हैं, उन्हें कहाँ लेकर जाएगी? कहीं वह इरफ़ान की तरह उन्हें सोशल मीडिया पर तो नुमायास का विषय नहीं बना देगी?

जो लॉबी विवाह पूर्व यौन सम्बन्धों का समर्थन करती है, उसे भी इस प्रकार के अपराधों के लिए कहीं न कहीं दोषी माना जाना चाहिए क्योंकि वह यौन अपराधों को अत्यंत सामान्यीकृत घोषित कर देती है। ऐसे एक बार के सम्बन्ध के चलते लड़की न जाने कितनी और खाइयों में गिरती चली जाती है।

वहीं इस मामले को लेकर हिन्दू संगठन भी मुखर हैं। हिंदू संगठन से जुड़े विकास मिश्रा के अनुसार इरफान नाम के लड़के ने खोड़ा निवासी बालिका को अपने प्रेम जाल में फंसा कर उसके साथ अश्लील कृत्य करते हुए एक वीडियो बनाया था। उसी वीडियो के वायरल होने के चलते मृतका का पूरा परिवार सदमे मे था जब लड़की बदनामी नहीं सह पाई तो आज करीबन रात में फांसी लगाकर आत्महत्या कर ली। उनलोगों का यह भी कहना है कि इरफ़ान और उसके अन्य साथी ऑटो चलाते हैं और आस-पास रहने वाली लड़कियों का पीछा करके उन्हें परेशान भी करते हैं।

उन्होंने चेतावनी देते हुए कहा कि  अगर पुलिस कोई कार्रवाई नहीं करती है तो हिंदू संगठन कार्रवाई करेगा।

इधर पुलिस अब जोर शोर से आरोपियों की तलाश में जुटी है और पुलिस का कहना है कि शीघ्र ही आरोपी पकडे जाएंगे!

वहीं उत्तर प्रदेश में ही एक और घटना में दलित महिला के साथ बलात्कार एवं बेटी के साथ अश्लील हरकत करने वाला मौलवी गिरफ्तार किया गया था

पिछले ही महीने उत्तर प्रदेश में एक मौलवी को एक दलित महिला के साथ बलात्कार करने एवं उसकी बेटी के साथ छेड़छाड़ करने की शिकायत पर गिरफ्तार किया था। पीड़िता का कहना था कि वह उसके घर के सामने रहने वाले जैनुल आबदीन पुत्र अली बक्श उर्फ़ मौलवी बाबा अपने घर के अन्दर मजार बनाकर रहता है। फिर वह झाड़फूंक के बहाने उसके घर से जिन्न आदि दूर करने के लिए उसके घर आने लगा और और जिन्न का डर दिखाकर शारीरिक सम्बन्ध बनाया था।

मौलवी उसकी चौदह वर्षीय बेटी को अपने घर खाना बनाने के लिए बुलाता था और छेड़छाड़ करता था। जब उसके बेटे ने यह देखा और विरोध किया तो फांसी पर उसे लटका दिया था और अस्पताल ले जाते समय उसकी मौत हो गयी थी।

पुलिस ने महिला की शिकायत पर उस मौलवी को गिरफ्तार कर लिया था।

Hindu girl suicide Irfan harassment
A Hindu Class 12 student committed suicide due to harassment by Irfan and police inaction

A class 12 girl student hanged herself late last night in Khora locality of Ghaziabad, UP. She was tired of the sexual harassment by one Irfan, a resident of the same colony.

On Saturday, she had lodged a complaint in Khora police station in this matter. But no action was taken by police, her family alleges, driving her to take this extreme step. Her body has been sent for post mortem. SHO Yogesh Malik said that ‘all angles of this matter are being probed’; police claimed that they did not receive a written complaint.

Police teams raided Irfan’s residence, but he and his family are absconding.

The girl’s father said that Irfan used to harass his daughter on her way to school and back home. On Saturday, she informed her parents and they took her to Khora police station to lodge a complaint. But it was not taken seriously, and the tense girl decided to end her life on Monday night. There is now widespread anger in the entire locality.

As per Sudarshan News, Irfan had raped the minor and recorded a video, which he later made viral.

Earlier this month, a class 6 girl had stopped going to school to escape harassment by a boy. She also hung herself to death at her home in Madhuban Bapudham area of Ghaziabad on December 1.

An ISKCON temple at in Birbhum district of West Bengal was burnt down on Friday night, December 16. As per a Hindustan Times Bangla report, the temple in Kendragaria village, Khoyrasol block had been built just 2 months back. Locals say there had been attempts in the past also to burn the temple.

Local BJP MLA Anup Saha, who represents Dubrajpur constituency, said that an attempt was made to burn the ISKCON temple the previous Friday, December 9 also. But locals managed to extinguish that fire before it could damage the temple, although a nearby cowshed was burnt down. 

After the arson on December 9, a complaint was lodged with the police and it was demanded that they increase security of the temple. But the administration did not pay heed, which led to yet another attempt on December 16 and this time the anti-Hindu elements succeeded in destroying the temple.

Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s North Birbhum district secretary Saroj Sai said, “Saturday morning we got news that the ISKCON temple in Kendragoria has been burnt. But no one could say who started the fire. Attempts were made to burn the temple earlier too. The miscreants succeeded on Saturday night. We have lodged a police complaint”. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad blocked roads at 5 places in Birbhum on Saturday demanding a full investigation into the incident. They demanded immediate arrest of the culprits.

Muslims constituted over 37% of Birbhum district population as per the last Census 2011 carried out 11 years back. The district is also the stronghold of jailed TMC strongman Anubrata Mondal who is being investigated for his role in cattle smuggling and lottery scams, and is also accused of rape & murder of political opponents.

The alarming number of POCSO cases in Kerala and appeasement politics

POCSO

Why are POCSO cases rising in self-proclaimed ‘Number One’ Kerala? On 15 December, Janam TV reported that a madrassa teacher who sexually assaulted an 11-year-old student in Varkala was arrested. Salahuddin A.S., son of Dar ul Najad Abdul Majeed, a native of Kummil near Kadakkal in Thiruvananthapuram district, was arrested by Ayiroor police. The incident occurred inside a madrassa at Varkala under Ayiroor police station limits. 

The girl, who had gone to the Madrasa for religious studies, was molested by her ustad. School teachers became suspicious about the child’s behavior, and the sexual assault came to light when they counseled her. The teachers informed the child’s parents, who filed a complaint at the Ayiroor police station. 

Salahuddin went into hiding before the police arrived, but he was soon arrested. Madrasa authorities claimed that they fired the accused immediately. Police are investigating whether there are more victims.

In September, Vellangallur police in Thrissur district arrested a Madrassa ustad named Thoyib Farhan (22) for attempting to rape a nine-year-old girl inside the madrassa toilet. Police registered a case based on a complaint by the victim’s parents after the girl revealed her experience. Farhan was charged under the stringent Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Local police indicated that he had sexually assaulted several children. Police did not release his images and started a ‘detailed investigation,’ but that was it.

In April, News 18 informed that Varkala police arrested an accused who molested a 14-year-old girl. She was alone at home when Abdul Salam’s son Rafi (43) approached the victim asking for drinking water. When she gave him water, Rafi dragged her inside and raped the minor girl. The child’s parents are daily wage laborers, and Rafi worked with the victim’s father. Rafi knew the victim’s vulnerability, went to her house, and molested the child when the parents toiled. The accused was produced in court and remanded.

On 26 November, Devdiscourse notified that a teacher from Chadayamangalam in the Kollam district was detained under the POCSO act for molesting one of his girl students. Yousuf sexually assaulted the victim during the school arts festival and absconded when the minor complained. Police registered a case and claimed an investigation was on. Kerala police are yet to find the pedophile teacher.

Mavoor police arrested Pazhoor Irattakandiyil Ashkar alias Sudeendran (43) after he raped a six-year-old girl in Kozhikode. Officers led by Mavoor CI, K Vinodhan, arrested the rapist. The accused was remanded for 14 days. The attack seemed so sick that the media did not report the details but published it on 6 December.

Pallithottam police in Kollam district arrested Afzal (27) after he raped and impregnated a minor girl. The accused groomed her, promising marriage, and raped her at his house. The girl’s parents learned about the abuse after she became pregnant. CI Fayas and SI Anil Basil arrested the accused, produced Afzal in court, and he was remanded. Malayala Manorama reported the incident on 9 December.

Minor Boys

On 2 December, Kerala Kaumudi reported that Kozhikode police registered a case against four youths for abducting and sexually assaulting a minor boy. Kozhikode town police registered a case under the POCSO Act against Aziz, Uwaiz, and Abbas based on the complaint lodged on behalf of a 15-year-old boy. The incident occurred on 27 October, and Kerala police claimed another accused could not be ‘identified.’ According to the police, the accused kidnapped the boy from Malappuram, took him to Kunnamangalam in Kozhikode, and sexually assaulted him. The missing accused is yet to be identified or detained. 

On 5 December, Media Mangalam documented that a middle-aged man was arrested for sodomizing a minor boy in Kozhikode. Ahnas, a native of Wayanad Muthanga, was arrested by the town police. The victim had left home and reached the Kozhikode public transport bus stand when the accused lured the minor boy by promising him a job. Ahnas took the child to different lodges in the city and raped him. Town Inspector MV Biju arrested the accused, and the court remanded him.

Kozhikode-based Madhyamam (anti-national Jamaat-e-Islami mouthpiece) too reported the incident but would not publish the photos of the accused. They knew the victim was a boy, and still, they used an image of a young girl in the report.  

KP Ismail (Kabardar-49) of Thaikadappuram, near Nileshwaram in Kasargod district, was arrested for sodomizing a minor. The boy had come for religious studies at the local madrassa. Police said the child was subjected to unnatural sex by showing obscene videos on the phone. The torture happened between 10 October and 2 November. Ismail was arrested by Nileswaram SI, P. Rajeev, and charged under sections of the POCSO act.

The victim informed his teachers, following which police arrested the perverted pedophile. Ismail is the state office bearer of the Swatantra Thozhilali Union (STU). It was formed in 1957 and is Bharat’s oldest trade union federation. STU is based out of Kozhikode and is associated with the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML). Karma News reported the incident on 7 December. 

POCSO and Politics of Appeasement

Unfortunately, in Kerala, the list of sexual atrocities against children (both boys and girls) goes on and on. Most involve middle-aged men from a particular community. (Some with Hindu nicknames). Even local sociologists are still in denial, making the issue even more complex. Politics and a sloppy punishment system multiply its gravity.

In July, the Irinjalakuda Fast Track Court judge K P Pradeep sentenced a 37-year-old man to 40 years of rigorous imprisonment for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl. The accused, Hilar alias Muthu, son of Arakkapparambil Haneefa of Karuppadanna Vellangallur in Thrissur, was also fined two lakhs rupees to be handed over to the survivor. The sexual assault happened in 2015. Unfortunately, it took eight years for justice to arrive. Some victims are waiting even after ten years. Judgments are rare and far between. This provides pedophiles with ample opportunities to allegedly threaten the victims, arrange payments to bribe the system or escape the country.

Religious appeasement means that the Kerala government either turns a blind eye or, in some cases, even helps such child abusers. Both the opposition Congress and the ruling communists are united regarding such matters.

Absconding POCSO accused Shamsuddin Nadakkavil from Malappuram

Even social workers and child activists in Kerala seem to have forgotten about the infamous pedophile Shamsuddin Nadakkavil from Valanchery, Malappuram. He was accused of sexually abusing an underage girl at various locations and was slapped with the stringent POCSO. The whole system allowed and helped Nadakkavil flee the country after the crime came to light in May 2019.

Though Nadakkavil ran a ‘charcoal’ business in Dubai, he was a Communist Party of India (Marxist) CPM-backed independent member of the local self-government body from Valanchery municipality in Kerala. He was reportedly close to controversial anti-national Kerala minister K T Jaleel who allegedly smuggled gold using Qurans. The accused and Jaleel were active Leftist workers in the Thavanur and Valanchery assembly constituencies in the Malappuram district. Jaleel, the former SIMI/IUML leader, is from Valanchery and is the current MLA from Thavanur. He was a minister in the last communist government and had recently traveled to Kashmir and termed the region as the Pakistanis do. Azad Kashmir. 

Kerala Childline intervened on behalf of the minor rape victim. The administration delayed filing the sexual assault case against Nadakkavil and comfortably registered it just before new police officers were appointed at the station during their reshuffle ahead of the polls. Before Kerala police could question him, Nadakkavil is suspected to have left for Vietnam, moved between Indonesia and Thailand finally reached Malaysia, where he is said to have ‘friends.’ Fugitive Islamist terrorist Zakir Naik (wanted for money laundering and hate speeches in Bharat) now lives comfortably in Malaysia, where he was granted permanent residency.

Allegations arose against Jaleel that his friendship with the accused delayed proceedings. Jaleel claimed that several people, including Muslim League workers, were spreading rumors against him. He tried the moral high ground and said that even if his son was involved in a crime, he should be punished. He was later forced to resign following nepotism charges, and Keralites were not impressed. Kerala police are yet to find or detain fugitive Nadakkavil. The rich and the powerful are seldom punished, even if they rape minors.

Swapna Suresh lashes out at Pinarayi Vijayan

Swapna Suresh, the main accused in the gold smuggling scam using the diplomatic immunity route involving Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, several communist leaders, bureaucrats, and foreign agents, recently opened up in an interview. This is what she had to say.  

“National Investigation Agency (NIA) officers are not bothered about terrorism or gold smuggling. They did not want further details. The confrontation between M Sivasankar IAS and me was shocking.” A confrontation is a kind of cross-examination used by officers to collect evidence. Sivasankar is an accused in the gold smuggling case. 

“Sivasankar was treated like a VVIP and sat opposite me in the NIA office with his mobile devices.” An officer called Rahul Nair (he was not even the investigating officer but was part of the NIA team), and Sivasankar confronted Suresh. They wanted her to remain behind bars for six months, following which they would ensure her bail without any guarantors. The whole bureaucracy was into it together, alleged Swapna. Incidentally, she was bailed out after sixteen months. 

All officers must submit their mobile phones, bags, and even tiffin boxes at the security counter before entering the NIA office. This is where Sivasankar entered with his mobile phone. Suresh asks, “tell me, what is the meaning of all this?” 

“How does a habitual offender like Sandeep Nair (another accused and a local CPM goon), who already has a smuggling case against his name, become an approver in this NIA case and subsequently get excluded from the chargesheet? An accused can be an approver based on his degree of involvement. Sandeep did not know the story about the higher-ups involved in this case and is in no way connected to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Embassy or the Consulate General.” 

Faisal Fareed, an NRI Malayalee in Dubai, smuggled gold by hiding it inside household equipment. The consignment was addressed to UAE attaché Rashid Khamis Al Sheimeili. “Khamis is not an accused in the NIA case. A Bharatiya can be a terrorist, but a UAE national cannot be one?” The team of cronies attached to the UAE Embassy left in a hurry, never returning. Currently, our investigating agencies claim that the UAE nationals are not ready to ‘cooperate.’ 

On 17 July 2020, the personal security officer of UAE attaché Rashid Khamis Al Sheimeili, who was reported missing, was located in an isolated area near his residence in the Akkulam area in the capital. Civil police officer Jayaghosh was found with the veins of his hands slashed. By then, he had also returned his service pistol to the authorities.

His family members alleged that he had received threats from those involved in gold smuggling and was under severe stress. Media and the police claimed that he had attempted suicide, but it defies logic that someone slashed both his wrists. More controversies emerged, but they were shoved under the carpet quickly.

The smuggled gold was confiscated in early July 2020, at the height of the covid lockdown. How did Suresh travel during the covid lockdown? “Sandeep and Sivasankar planned and prepared the journey from Thiruvananthapuram to Ernakulam and then to Bengaluru. Sivasankar told me I had to meet a lawyer in Ernakulam and sign an anticipatory bail application.” 

Sivasanakar stated that the investigation must stop at her and not reach the others. At Ernakulam, they tried to separate Swapna Suresh from her children, who were accompanying her. She rejected the idea, cried, created a scene, and all moved to Bengaluru together. 

It was when Kerala police thrashed ordinary citizens who stepped out to buy even essentials for their children. Suresh was surprised when she reached Bengaluru and checked the special pass issued for their journey. Only four names were there—Nair, Swapna’s former husband Jayasankar, and her two children. Swapna’s name was not there. 

She was supposed to go to Mumbai and then move to Nagaland. Once there, she was to lie low until everything settled down. She alleged that the plan was to eliminate her.

Nair and Suresh were arrested from Bengaluru. National Investigation Agency (NIA) took up the gold smuggling case on 10 July 2020, and the accused were apprehended on 11 July 2020. Incidentally, they were found living in a hotel within walkable distance from the infamous Exalogic Solutions Pvt. Ltd., owned by Vijayan’s daughter Veena Riyas.

Sivasankar was arrested in November 2020, jailed for just 98 days, and released on bail in February 2021. Curiously he was reinstated without much fanfare and he is now the principal secretary of the Sports and Youth Welfare Department. Sivasankar is back in government service and is allegedly actively tampering with evidence, intimidating enemies, and has the support of central investigating officers. 

In November 2021, the NIA claimed they failed to come up with any evidence relating to terror funding or the involvement of dark transnational forces in the case. Stringent provisions like the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) and COFEPOSA (Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling) were withdrawn, and all the accused were granted bail. 

In June, Customs said they tried their best to gather evidence but found no witnesses or proof. They questioned former minister K T Jaleel and former speaker P Sreeramakrishnan, but they were not prosecuted due to a lack of evidence. Swapna Suresh did provide even more evidence, but Customs declared that a further investigation could not be launched solely based on her statement. If Swapna Suresh were to provide all the proof and investigate, why do we need a Customs department?

Swapna Suresh and another accused, PS Sarith, had given their statements in the customs-probed gold and dollar smuggling cases. The accused had sent proceeds from the gold smuggling and other operations back to the UAE in dollars. Swapna Suresh and Suresh were mere middlemen.

Though the customs filed the chargesheet in the gold smuggling case, the agency decided not to turn Swapna Suresh and Sarith approvers. It meant the dollar smuggling case was over and that only Swapna Suresh, Sarith, and a few gold smugglers were involved in the gold smuggling case.

Also in June, the ED filed a Transfer Petition court asking for the gold smuggling case to be transferred to Bengaluru. Swapna Suresh supported the move. She said that the ED knew there was enough evidence. Why else would the ED go up to the Supreme Court to transfer all these cases to Bengaluru?

Vijayan’s communist government tried to intimidate ED by appointing a Judicial Commission against them, but the courts slammed the government and threw the idea into the waste bin. So, the latest ED Transfer Petition is absurd, and Swapna Suresh is naive. How can the ED demand that they will inquire only if and when a case is transferred to an area of their choice? That petition is gathering dust in court, and there is no investigation happening as of now. 

Swapna Suresh added that she was shocked when she found that the investigating officer, ED Deputy Director P Radhakrishnan, who had all the evidence, was giving day-to-day updates to the Chief Minister. “I was completely dependent on that little fellow Radhakrishnan Sir but when he turned out to become a big cheat, you know, it was shocking.” She noted that political interferences from the CM and his family could tamper and slow down the entire investigation and later go off the picture by eliminating her.

In August, Radhakrishnan was transferred to Chennai. Interestingly, leftist media, who until then claimed that the whole gold smuggling case was a damp squib, jumped in. They claimed that ‘informed sources’ said that the transfer came when the investigation made far greater progress than was known to the public and that the ED will face a setback in the probe.

They alleged that the investigation officer was transferred due to the political interventions of some officials who have close links with BJP central leadership. Such statements showed that they wanted Radhakrishnan back so the alleged spying for Vijayan could go on. It seems intimidatory tactics have worked, and ED has not worked on the gold smuggling case for the past six months.  

Will Swapna show the same resolve and take this case to its logical conclusion? 

“Everyone sees him (Vijayan) as honourable chief minister. But he is also just a culprit. And there is a saying when a culprit indulges in some criminal activity, he will always leave a loophole. Correct? And that will come out. Because he is not god.”

“As you call him, he is a notorious man. Let him keep his goondaism to himself. Let me see how he will save his daughter. Let me see how he will cover all his shady, really filthy activities. Somebody has to bring it out. The honourable chief minister has left loopholes.”

“If I have mentioned anything wrong, let him file a case against me, put me behind bars, or even kill me. I heard that he is very good at shooting, has got a gun, and is more or less like a Naxalite or something. Let him show his true colour. I will fight because I do not consider him an honourable chief minister” 

Suspiciously, no investigating agency has questioned Vijayan or his family till now. There are allegations that his son-in-law is the driving force behind the greed. The gold smuggling saga is a perfect case of how accused officers investigate crimes that they themselves are involved in and come out clean.

In October, the Supreme Court postponed the hearing in the SNC Lavalin case against Vijayan for a record 32nd time. Not even a single senior advocate from the central government appeared for the CBI. Incidentally, all these investigating agencies report to Home Minister Amit Shah. Everyone knows that our courts are famous for nepotism, absolutism, and laziness. Is the central government (especially the MEA) heading the same way?

Kerala CPM Councilor passes sexual innuendo on BJP women councilors

Thiruvananthapuram Mayor Arya Rajendran tramples BJP lady Councilors

Kerala Police did not file a case against Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM) Thiruvananthapuram councilor DR Anil even after several BJP councilors complained that he insulted women councilors. Instead, police ensured that Mayor Arya Rajendran physically trampled upon the lady BJP representatives. Administrative brutality did not end there, and they waited till midnight to drag and manhandle lady councilors into the waiting police vans. The councilors were staging a 24 hours day and night strike inside the corporation office against Anil. 

The media failed to report the brutal state-sponsored terrorism. Unfortunately, top BJP leaders were busy elsewhere, and none arrived at their rescue. Not a single feminist activist came forward to support the ladies. There are many such self-proclaimed utopians of women’s rights in Kerala, but their activism is limited to communist causes, most of which are anti-Hindu. 

Anil is also the LDF parliamentary party secretary and passed disgraceful remarks while the lady BJP councilors signed the attendance register. He said that if they wanted money, they might as well do ‘other’ jobs. It reflects upon his poor upbringing, family background, Malayalam movies, and communist ideologies that degrade women. Are communist leaders now passing such lewd remarks that hint at prostitution? 

Last week, nine BJP women councilors of the corporation who protested during the council meeting were suspended. Trouble has been brewing since letters allegedly written by Arya Rajendran to CPM district secretary Anavoor Nagappan appeared on social media. She wanted a list of CPM members for the appointment in vacant posts in the corporation. BJP and Congress councilors opposed such blatant cronyism and nepotism. Of the 100 seats in Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, CPM has 52, BJP 35, and Congress 10.

As per law, all government appointments must be made through the Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC). Kerala has a record 19 PSC members, each of whom draws more than double the salary of ministers. Ministers take home around one lakh monthly, while PSC members earn Rs 2.26 lakhs. Even the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has just six members and a Chairman. Tamil Nadu has seven, including the Chairman.

For the communists, KPSC is another tool to employ their cronies and relatives. The situation was the same under the earlier Congress regimes, too, and anyone seeking government employment had to carry a letter from the local political party office. 

Kerala police Crime Branch submitted a preliminary investigation report citing that they failed to confirm the authenticity of Arya’s alleged letter. Officials stated that they only have screenshots of the letter available on WhatsApp but not the original document. Crime Branch agreed that a case should be registered and further investigation should be carried out to find the original hardcopy of the letter. Suspiciously, they did not extend the probe to the WhatsApp groups that circulated the letter.

Incidentally, the controversial letter issue began with a WhatsApp group in which Anil was also a member. He even confessed that the letter he wrote in connection with the appointments to the corporation was destroyed by himself. Anil admitted that the letter which surfaced recently was prepared by him but refused to give any further explanations! He later claimed he disposed of them since he felt it unnecessary. Allegedly, the secret insertion of CPM cadre into plum posts had occurred by then. 

The Kerala High Court on Friday dismissed a plea seeking a CBI probe or a judicial inquiry into the controversial letter allegedly written by Arya regarding employing party cadres in the civic body. Justice K Babu said the claims of the petitioner — a former Councillor of the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation — regarding the impartiality of the investigating agency — the Crime Branch wing of the police — are without any solid foundation.

“The petitioner has failed to place any concrete material compelling transfer of investigation,” the court said, dismissing the plea. The court might have done well to have studied Anil’s confession before coming to such a conclusion. It points to the rot festering in the system for far too long. 

The CPM claims that Arya did not prepare the letter, and if so, why fear an impartial inquiry? Why couldn’t the Kerala Crime Branch locate the original note? Is it this easy to prepare letters using the Mayor’s letterhead in Kerala? In November, Vigilance had claimed they would interrogate all the corporation staff who are likely to have handled the alleged letters of Anil and the Mayor. What are the findings of that inquiry?

Last Friday, BJP and CPM councilors clashed in the morning council meeting. The BJP councilors who were protesting in the council hall to stop Mayor Arya Rajendran were forcibly removed by the police, following which the Mayor suspended the nine BJP women councilors. The ladies were down on the floor when Arya kicked and trampled on them on her way into the council hall dais. Hindus consider it a sin to touch someone with their feet, even unintentionally, and immediately apologize and touch their feet even if they are younger than them.

This was when Anil came out with his crass comments. His remarks did not go well with BJP lady councilors from families with impeccable records. They tried to file a police complaint against his vulgar words in the council, but Kerala police would not file an FIR against the communist leader. In protest against this, the BJP councilors decided to fast for 24 hours in the council hall.

However, Anil responded that he did not abuse women. The communist leader even tried to explain that he was only making a general statement aimed at all the BJP councilors! It proved that communists have little or no morals. Anil alleged that those who twist his statement have ugly motives.

Mayor Arya Rajendran’s position was that she did not notice Anil’s remark that was passed in the well of the council hall. She then alleged that she did not receive any complaint from the women councilors. BJP councilors said they had given a written complaint on Friday, and the Mayor had reportedly told them that she would look into the matter.

BJP’s move is to intensify the protest demanding the ouster of Anil. The BJP filed a complaint alleging insult to womanhood, but the police are of the position that they will file a case only after conducting a preliminary investigation.
