Court finds Kollam native guilty in RSS leader Santhosh’s murder

KOLLAM: The Kollam Additional Sessions Court on Tuesday found Sajeev, alias Kali Sajeev, a native of Pattathanam, guilty of murdering RSS leader Santhosh in 1997. Sajeev is the second accused in the case. The court is set to pronounce the sentence on Wednesday.

According to the prosecution, Sajeev, along with the other accused, attacked Santhosh with a sword, inflicting fatal injuries to his neck and other parts of his body. The murder was motivated by political rivalry, linked to the earlier killing of DYFI leader Sunil Kumar, in which Santhosh was an accused.
