Jayarajan files bail plea again

CPI-M leader and former MLAP Jayarajan, an accused in the murder of an RSS activist in 2014, today moved the local court for bail.
The bail application of Jayarajan, Kannur District Secretary of CPI-M, would be considered by the District Sessions Court tomorrow.
He was in remand till April 8 after his bail was rejected by the Kerala High Court on February 12 following his surrender in the District Session court here.
Jayarajan contended that he was named as an accused without any evidence and the case was politically motivated.
As CBI has completed his questioning, Jayaran was eligible for normal bail, it was pointed out.

Jayarajan is the 25th accused in the case and was charged under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

The lower court had earlier rejected his bail plea.
CBI had in January listed Jayarajan as an accused and framed charges against him under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in connection with the case.
Manoj (42), an RSS district functionary, was hacked to death in politically-volatile Kathiroor in Kannur district on September 1, 2014, allegedly by a group of CPI(M) workers.
