Hindu Munnani leader's murder accused sent to 3-day PC

A man accused of killing a Hindu Munnani leader last September and arrested a week ago was remanded in the custody of state's CB-CID today.

Chief Judicial Magistrate Madurasekaran sent accused Syed Abu Dahir to the police custody on the agency's plea for his custodial interrogation to trace his other accomplices, who are on run since the murder.

While remanding Syed in police custody (PC), the CJM said the accused should be produced before the court on the evening of March 31.

Munnani spokesperson C Sasikumar was waylaid and hacked to death by a four-member motorcycle-borne gang on September 22 last year.

The Special Investigation Division of CB-CID arrested Abu Dahir a week ago. It had released photographs of two suspects, Mubaraq and Saddam Hussain, in the case yesterday across south India and some north Indian states.
