Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s Facebook post:
The police have arrested two of the seven suspects in the heinous killing of Attappadi-resident Madhu, an Adivasi youth. I have instructed the state DGP to speed up the probe and take strict action in the case.
This heinous act is a blot on Kerala’s progressive society. But I want to assure you that strict action will be taken at the earliest against all the culprits to ensure that such crimes, especially against people from communities that were long marginalised, are not repeated.
Kerala as a whole should stay extremely vigilant to ensure that we continue to remain and progress as a caring, cosmopolitan society.
