Kannur > Police have stepped up security for CPI M Kannur district Secretary P Jayarajan following an intelligence input about a threat to his life.
The Kannur district police chief has sent a circular to all police stations in the city to increase the CPI M leader's security in the light of this intelligence input, police sources said. According to the circular, which was sent yesterday, a 'quotation gang' led by Pranub, a murder case accused who is absconding, had been given money and a vehicle for this.
Jayarajan, who arrived in the state capital this morning to attend the party's state committee meeting, however, refused to react when media personnel asked him about the death threat. Police sources said Jayarajan had been receiving such threats for some time.
P Jayarajan who is targeted by the RSS over the years, had escaped an attempt on his life in 1999 when RSS criminals attacked him at his home. His right hand is paralised since this attack.
