RSS activist’s murder: prime accused held

The police have arrested the prime accused in the murder of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) activist Nadu Krishna.

The arrested was identified as Jaffer (Mansoor) of R.F. Colony, Chandiroor, in Alappuzha. He was the Popular Front of India Aroor Assembly constituency secretary. Jaffer, who had been on the run following the murder, was arrested by a police team led by Cherthala Dy.SP Vinod Pillai. He was produced before a court and remanded in judicial custody.
