Chennai:
After police withdrew protection to the key eyewitnesses
in the murder of BJP State general secretary ‘Auditor’ V Ramesh in Salem, a
plea has been filed in Madras High Court to restore it.
The petition filed by V Seshadri, elder brother of deceased
Ramesh, before Justice B Rajendran stated that lives of him, his brother’s wife
Subha Ramesh and watchman Jayaraman are in danger as police withdrew protection
without arresting the prime accused in the murder of the BJP functionary in
Salem.
Seshadri stated that immediately after the murder of
Ramesh, the state government provided security to him (Seshadri), Ramesh’s wife
and watchman Jayaraman. But this was suddenly withdrawn on February 28, 2014
without any reason.
Abu Bakkar Siddhique, the prime accused in the case has
not been arrested and those elements in and around Salem City who helped the
terror group in murdering my brother are yet to be arrested. I being the de-facto complainant, mine and other
eyewitnesses lives are in danger from the accused and their henchmen as the
police protection has been withdrawn, stated Seshadri, who is also the zonal in-charge
of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).
The judge after hearing the petition issued notice to
home secretary, director general of police and Salem police commissioner.
