: Keeping nine of the 11 sentenced to life imprisionment in T P Chandrasekharan murder case at nearby Viyyur central jail would pose a 'security risk' and the authorities concerned had been informed of it, a top jail official said here today.
Prison Superintendent M K Vinodkumar said he had informed the authorities concerned it was not desirable to keep all nine convicts in the case here as it is a 'security risk.'
"It will be a security risk to keep all nine lifers together in the murder case here. It is therefore desirable to 'scatter' them at different prisons in the state, he said.
The nine were shifted to Viyyur on Jan 30, official sources said.
A CPI(M) rebel, who floated a parallel Left outfit called Revolutionary Marxist Party in his home turf Onchiyam in north Kerala, Chandrasekharan was hacked to death in May 2012.
Last month, a special court sentenced 11 persons, three of them local CPI(M) functionaries, to life imprisonment.
