Police officer suspended for leaking information to PFI terrorists
The Police Cyber Cell Sub Inspector Rijumon has been suspended for leaking official secret information to the outlawed Popular Front of India (PFI).
The suspension of a police officer for passing on information to the members of Popular Front of India took place in the wake of the NIA’s findings. Rijumon was working in Kottayam East Police Station. NIA has been closely watching the people, in the eastern zone of the district, belonging to the banned organisation. NIA had gathered evidence for leaking this information to the PFI people. And, he was suspended.
This incident came close on the heels of the suspension of Civil Police Officer for leaking secret information, from Karimannoor Police Station, Thodupuzha, Idukki district, to the banned PFI leaders.
BJP alleged that while Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is all set for helicopter flights, Keralites’ security is ‘in the hands of the terrorists’. (He was referring to the hiring of helicopter for the travels of the chief minister @ Rs 80 lakhs for 25 hours and Rs 90,000 for additional hour). The presence of terrorist links is shocking.
BJP leader N. Hari said that if the terrorists in the police and bureaucracy are not brought before the law, the state would have to face grave disasters in the days to come. He added that there are religious extremists’ slaves in Kerala Police. They are waging war against the country. He drew the people’s attention to this terrible and dreadful situation. The office of terrorist links worked in Kottayam, a district of temple, churches and festivals. Therefore, there is every reason to worry about the safety and security of the ordinary Hindus and Christians.
Hari said that Keralites cannot forget Sub Inspector Shajahan who leaked official e-mail, from the police headquarters, to ISIS terrorists. He alleged that it was the Pinarayi Vijayan regime who promoted and pampered him. Khaki-clads still sitting safe in Crime Branch and Special Branch. Hari said that some years back, a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) was alleged to have terror links; he was transferred and he joined in Kottayam ! A ‘man with spine’ had to take over the reins of the country before tracing the Pacha Velicham (Green Light). (Hari was referring to Prime Minister Modi and the WhatsApp Group of the alleged PFI sympathisers in Kerala Police). Hari alleged that fundamentalists rule the roost in the state police, because, they are sure, if at all they are caught, they would be protected; past experience speaks it out.
Meanwhile, NIA has taken into custody Saheer Turkey, another Keralilte, in connection with the IS terrorist module. He belongs to Mannarkkat, Palakkad district. He is the fellow traveller of Nabeel Mohammed nabbed by NIA a few weeks back. Nabeel was caught while trying to flee the country via Neptal. Police raided Saheer’s house after taking him into custody from there. Police confiscated digital and other evidences for his terror links. NIA has also found that Saheer had organised, for Nabeel, underground shelter, sim card and money for leaving Kerala.
NIA had earlier found that a team including Keralites had tried to launch IS activities in the state. The team had formed a Telegram Group called “Pet Lovers”. The team had plotted to loot the temples and kill RSS-BJP-Christian leaders in Thrissur and Palakkad districts. NIA had registered the case in this regard. There were also news about plots to loot ATMs. Consequently Nabeel went underground. Saheer, now in police custody, had made arrangements for Nabeel. Nabeel lived in a lodge room hired in the name of Saheer. But, Nabeel stayed there. NIA had got hold of documents and CCTV visuals in this regard. Saheer is being interrogated in NIA centre in Kochi. Saheer gave money to Nabeel for staying in Tamil Nadu. NIA tries to collect information from him regarding the spread of the IS module. Apart from Nabeel Thrissur native Ashif, T. Shiyas and Palakkad native Rayees had been arrested during the last few months.
According to the latest reports, NIA has raided twelve houses in Thrissur, Ernakulam and Malappuram districts, including the house of the former PFI state president Latheef Pokkokkillam. Latest raids are reported to be in connection with the case registered in Delhi.
