Muthoot Paul M George murder case cannot be wished away

By O J George

Whoever thinks that the Muthoot Paul M George murder case would vanish into thin air by fixing someone is in a world of unreality. No amount of artifice would satisfy the people at large as they are convinced that dreaded goons were involved in the killing act.

There can be any number of arguments like Muthoot Paul M George had been hobnobbing with the dreaded goons for achieving his nefarious ends.

Such arguments do not provide justification as the people would like to know everything including the wrong-doings of Muthoot Paul M George, if any.

Now Vilasini, the mother of Kaari Satheesh, who has admitted to the murder in an act of provocation, has approached Kerala High Court for a CBI inquiry into the whole affairs.

The High Court is hearing the plea for CBI inquiry on Tuesday.

On Monday, another news item appeared.The Andhra Pradesh Government led by chief Minister Rosaiah requested the Union Government to cause a CBI inquiry into the helicopter crash involving the death of Y S Rajasekhar Reddy, his private secretary, chief security officer and two pilots.

The inquiry by the Andhra Pradesh Government would continue even as the CBI takes over investigation into all aspects of the case.

Union Home Minister P.Chidambaram has readily agreed to have a probe done by the CBI.

It should be the same spirit with which the Kerala Government should proceed with the request for a CBI probe into the murder of Muthoot Paul M George.

It would be easier for the CBI to nab dreaded criminals involved in the Muthoot Paul M George murder, who are at large.

A CBI probe would satisfy the opposition in the state as well, for UDF convener P.P.Thankachen had called for an inquiry by the central agency.
