Ratheesh’s autopsy report hints at internal haemorrhage, excessive pressure on the lungs

DES: The District Crime Branch will now probe the death of Ratheesh Kooloth, the second accused in the Panoor Mansoor murder case, after the preliminary post-mortem report hinted at some mysterious facts. Ratheesh, 36, was found hanging from a tree on a desolate plot at Arunda, Chekkiad in Valayam police limits in Kozhikode district on Friday. He had gone missing after the April 6 murder of 21-year-old Mansoor, a Youth League activist. The case was handed over to the Crime Branch after the post-mortem report was out. Though the initial assessment was that Ratheesh’s death was a case of suicide, there were allegations of foul play in Ratheesh’s death. Congress leader K Sudhakaran alleged that the other accused in the case had hanged him. Forensic surgeons, who had conducted the post-mortem, made some suspicious references, including internal haemorrhage and excessive pressure on the lungs, which are not normally found in suicide cases. Police have now got the information that other accused persons in the Mansoor case were with Ratheesh before his death. The deceased was a member of CPM’s Pullookkara branch committee. After receiving the post-mortem report on Saturday, a team led by District Superintendent of Police A Sreenivas searched the spot throughout night for evidence. Forensic experts, too, visited the scene. Police have recorded a detailed statement of the forensic surgeon. Meanwhile, the State Crime Branch has launched its probe into the murder of Mansoor, and a team under Inspector-General (IG) of Police G Sparjan Kumar visited the slain youth’s house on Sunday. The team recorded the statements of Mansoor’s brother Muhsin and father Musthafa. The attackers’ actual target was Muhsin but he had escaped with injuries. Musthafa was witness to the crime. The team also inspected the case diary. The IG said they were checking the statements recorded by the previous investigators and said that all the accused would be arrested soon. Investigation officer and Deputy Superintendent of Police (Crime Branch) P Vikraman was also with the probe team.
