With the latest finding of the Crime Branch that Vadakara native Ponmeriparambil Sajeevan was a victim of police torture and culpable homicide not amounting to murder, the demand to sanction a reasonable compensation for his family has again gained strength.
Along with the local youth organisations and various political parties, the Vadakara taluk development committee has also placed its request before the State government to consider the demand immediately.
Sajeevan’s friends from Kalleri village revealed that he was the sole breadwinner of his family comprising his aged mother and her sister. “His mother was dragged into a traumatic situation after his death. There is not even a good house for her to stay in,” they said.
