Ruling out involvement of any political party in the alleged honour killing of a 23-year old man, Kerala police today said it was a clear case "personal enmity arising out of love affair".
"It is not political. There is no involvement of any political party in it," Ernakulam Range IG Vijay Sakhare, heading Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the case, told reporters here.
His comments come in the backdrop of some opposition parties alleging that activists of DYFI, the youth wing of the ruling CPI(M), were part of the gang which allegedly killed Kevin P Joseph.
The DYFI state secretariat has already rejected the allegation.
The IG said the abduction and killing of Joseph on May 27 was "a clear case of personal enmity arising out of love affair."
