Petitioners against Monson allege threat to life
The Hindu
They file a complaint with State Police Chief
The petitioners, whose joint complaint to the Chief Minister led to the arrest of alleged conman and self-styled antique dealer Monson Mavunkal, have sought protection for their life and properties in the face of alleged threats.
Four of the six petitioners —Yakub Purayil, Anoop V. Ahammad, Shameer M.T., and Shanimon — have petitioned State Police Chief Anil Kant in this regard.
“When we turned up for giving evidence to the Crime Branch probing the case in Ernakulam a few days ago, two persons came to our hotel at Vyttila. One person, a resident of Kunnamkulam, was known to us and had asked for an appointment to meet us. But he was accompanied by an unknown person who started issuing threats against naming KPCC chief K. Sudhakaran during television channel debates,” said Mr. Shameer.
