The police on Saturday arrested four persons in connection with the murder of Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) worker A. Subair at Elappully here on Friday. They are Jineesh, Sudarshanan, Sreejit, and Shaiju.
The police said they were Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) workers. Two of them, Sudarshanan and Sreejit, were accused in a murder attempt on SDPI worker Sakeer Hussain over a year ago at Erattakkulam near here. They had gone into hiding in Tamil Nadu after securing bail a few weeks ago.
The police, however, did not disclose where they were picked up from. A special police team i reportedly zeroed in on the RSS workers on the basis of statements by several witnesses, including Subair’s father Aboobacker.
