Kochi: The Kerala police have arrested one more Campus Front worker over the murder of Students Federation of India (SFI) leader Abhimanyu at the Maharaja's College campus. Arif Bin Salim is the district secretary of the Campus Front.
The investigating team says Salim, a native of Perumbavoor, organised the gang of killers who stabbed Abhimanyu to death on July 1 at the college campus.
With the arrest of Salim, nine of the 16 who are directly linked to the murder are in custody. The police have listed 28 accused in the case, including those who helped the accused hide.
Investigators had the other day issued a lookout notice for eight of the accused in the case, including Salim. The cops are reportedly preparing a charge-sheet after examining statements of 125 witnesses, and could submit it later this week. The police had in July taken into custody Campus Front leader Muhammed, a key accused in the murder.
Among those still untraced in the case is the man accused of fatally stabbing Abhimanyu.
Abhimanyu was a native of Vattavada, a remote village in Idukki district. Arjun Krishna, who was with Abhimanyu on the ill-fated day, survived but with serious injuries.
