The police intensified search for nine of the 12 accused in the Attappady Madhu lynching case whose bail was cancelled by the trial court.
Nine of the accused were absconding since the Special Court for SC/ST (PoA) Act, Attappady, cancelled their bail on Saturday last. When three of the accused had surrendered and were remanded in judicial custody, the remaining nine were still at large. The police said they extended the search beyond the State borders.
Those wanted by the police are Marakkar (second accused), P.C. Shamsuddin (third accused), T. Radhakrishnan (fifth accused), Aboobacker (sixth accused), Najeeb (ninth accused), M.V. Jaijumon (10th accused), Abdul Kareem (11th accused), P.P. Sajeev (12th accused), and V. Muneer (16th accused).
