The police on Sunday arrested ‘Andhra Pradesh native’ Satheesh Narayanan who was suspected of setting afire the Vadakara taluk office. The 37-year-old was taken into custody by the special investigation team following his arrests on Saturday in three other similar arson cases.
A senior officer with the Special Investigation Team said the man was nabbed on the basis of strong incriminating evidence including forensic findings and visuals from closed-circuit television cameras. He also ruled out any other sabotage attempt in the incident as alleged by some of the people’s representatives and government officials.
Soon after the incident, which took place on December 17, the police had zeroed in on the man and interrogated him in detail. It was a group of local merchants and people’s representatives who noted the suspicious presence of the man in all the previously reported incidents.
