Thalasserry : A WhatsApp call made by BJP Mandalam president in Thalassery and Municipality Councilor, Ligesh, has given away his role as prime conspirator in the murder of CPI(M) worker Haridas in Thalasssery.
On the dawn of Monday, shortly before the murder, at 1.10am, Ligesh placed a call to his relative Mani. The call was a misdial and meant for another Sunesh aka Mani who worked at a shop in Gopalpettah. Realising the mistake, Lijesh quickly cut the call and called Sunesh.
Speaking on the other end, Sunesh said Haridas had left the harbour and would soon reach his home. The assailant gang that laid in wait soon pursued Haridas and hacked him to death. Incidentally, Sunesh was Haridas’s co-worker and the two took to sea on fishing boats together.
To Ligesh’s mind, calls made on WhatsApp are not traceable. Little did he know that cyber police have their ways around and can track the guilty even when a murder is plotted via calls on WhatsApp.
