Accident – death – Obituary News : **15 Accused Found Guilty in RSS Worker’s Murder Case**

Alappuzha: In a landmark verdict, all 15 accused in the case of the brutal killing of RSS worker Ranjith Sreenivasan have been found guilty by Mavelikkara Additional Sessions Judge VG Sridevi. The verdict establishes the charge of murder against accused numbers one to eight. As the verdict was announced, anticipation grew regarding the punishment that would be handed down to the accused. Ranjith Sreenivasan’s mother, Vinodini, expressed her hope for the maximum punishment for the guilty parties and eagerly awaited this day. With the conclusion of the trial, the legal process will now move forward to determine the appropriate penalties for those convicted.

Ranjith Sreenivasan, a member of the BJP Kerala Committee and the OBC Morcha (State) Secretary, met a tragic end in front of his mother, wife, and daughter at his residence in Vellakinar, Alappuzha, on December 19, 2021. The 15 accused, identified as Popular Front workers, were arrested in connection with the murder. The recent court verdict found all 15 of them guilty.

During the trial, the defendants had sought the Supreme Court’s intervention to move the proceedings out of Alappuzha district, but their request was denied. The prosecution presented a narrative suggesting that the murder conspiracy involving Ranjith Srinivasan occurred in three stages. It was revealed that the accused, associated with the SDPI, had anticipated reprisals for the killing of Nandu Krishna from Vayalar. In preparation for such retaliation, they allegedly had premeditated plans to carry out another murder.

In an unprecedented turn of events, none of the lawyers at the Alappuzha bar were willing to take up the defense in the case, leading to an inconclusive trial. In response, the defendants approached the High Court seeking a transfer of the case out of the Alappuzha district. The High Court, however, ordered the transfer of the murder case to the Mavelikkara Additional Sessions Court. Despite the defendants approaching the Supreme Court, they did not receive a favorable verdict regarding the transfer of the case, leading to the continuation of proceedings in Mavelikkara Additional Sessions Court.

This verdict brings closure to a tragic incident that shook the community. The guilty parties will now face the consequences of their actions as the legal system determines the appropriate penalties. The outcome of this case not only serves justice but also sends a strong message that such acts of violence will not be tolerated.
