Monday, August 24, 2009
DGP Jacob Punnoose today disclosed that four among the gang which killed Paul Muthoot George, personally knew the target of their attack. Speaking to media at the state capital today he added that the police would look into the conspiracy aspect behind the murder. He added that it was the police who found out that Rajesh and Om Prakash, two goondas had accompanied Mr Paul on his last journey and claimed that the police has got nothing to hide in this matter.
The DGP stated that so far IG Vincent M Paul has not submitted the inquiry report to the ADGP and denied that the police has issued look out notice for noted goonda leader Om Prakash. The police today confirmed the arrest of 11 people belonging to a quotation gang in Changanassery, in connection with the murder of Paul Muthoott George. Speaking to Asianet News today morning IG Vincent M Paul confirmed that the arrest has been recorded. He also denied reports that Puthanpalam Rajesh and Om Prakash, goonda leaders has been taken into custody. The police is expected to announce more details today afternoon.
The 11 member quotation gang was taken into custody Sunday evening. Though official clarification regarding the part played by the gang is yet to come out, hints are that the killing took place due to a verbal conflict over an accident involving Paul George. The quotation gang was proceeding for destroying a hotel at Mannanchery on the fateful night and the Ford Ikon, in which they were travelling collided with the Endeavour car, which was driven by Paul.
This resulted in a verbal clash, which eventually ended in the killing. Police has already taken into custody, the two vehicles used by the quotation gang. The gang was engaged by another team for solving a issue related with a hotel. Un official reports hints that the Endeavour car in which Paul was travelling earlier met with an accident on the same day, in which a two wheeler passenger was injured.
The quotation gang was aware of this accident and this added to the vengeance. Police believes that the killing took place due to an immediate provocation. The investigating officials have so far not denied reports that Paul was travelling in a vehicle owned by Rajesh, a goonda leader and the driving license of Om Prakash, another goonda was recovered from the vehicle. They are believed to be quizzed by the police, but concreate evidence connecting them to the crime is still lacking.
Police are not ruling out chances of these two goonda leaders having proximity with Paul, which may have resulted in accompanying him.
