Kerala: Inquiry demanded into mysterious death of cop

KOZHIKODE: The Congress has urged  the state government to order an inquiry into the mysterious death of P.P. Ramakrishnan, former additional sub-inspector of Chevayoor police station, whose body was found hanging in the police station on August 27.  Hailing from Kunnamangalam in the district, he was transferred to Chevayoor from town station recently. 

KPCC general secretary N. Subramanyan in a press release alleged that  none of the police officials had visited the house of the victim  after his death.   His relatives  had raised suspicions on the role of the higher officials in the death, he said.   The relatives alleged that Ramakrishnan had  complained of the torture of higher officials before his death. Though they  had submitted a memorandum to the chief minister,  there was no action, he alleged.
