Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan forms special team to investigate disappearance of businessman Muhammad Atoor, amid political controversy.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s office (CMO) has constituted a special team to investigate the disappearance of a Kozhikode-based business person, Muhammad Atoor, alias Mami, in 2023.
A press release issued by the CMO said the Additional Director General of Police, Crime Branch. H Venkatesh will head the probe.
The missing person case had become politically controversial after Left Democratic Front (LDF) independent legislator P.V. Anvar linked the police and what he termed a mafia in North Kerala to the businessman’s disappearance.
He also accused State law enforcement, headed by the Additional Director General of Police, Law and Order, M R Ajith Kumar, of slowing down the probe.
Mr. Anvar’s accusations prompted Mr. Atoor’s family to move Mr Vijayan for a CBI inquiry. The family also petitioned the High Court to refer the case to the central agency.
Mr. Anvar also claimed that the police team that investigated the sensational case initially recommended a CBI investigation.
