The arrest raises hope about probe: Nazeer

Communist Party of India (Marxist) worker-turned-rebel C.O.T. Nazeer has said that the arrest of CPI(M) worker N.K. Rajesh on June 21 has raised the hope that the ongoing investigation into the murder attempt on him will lead to Thalassery MLA A.N. Shamseer who he said was behind the attack.
He told a television channel that if the investigation into the conspiracy behind the attack on him did not cover Mr. Shamseer, he would approach the court.
“Rajesh is former office secretary of the Thalassery area committee office and I had no issue with Rajesh or Santhosh and others involved in the attack,” Mr. Nazeer said. With the arrest of Rajesh he was hopeful that the probe would lead to Mr. Shamseer, he added.
He also said that everyone in Thalassery knew that Rajesh was a close associate of Mr. Shamseer. Rajesh also had business connections with Mr. Shamseer’s brother, he added.
