Murder case cracked after 16 months, two held
Kozhikode City police have solved a 16-month-old murder case bearing eerie similarities to the Malayalam film Drishyam, following the recovery of skeletal remains from Cherambadi forest in Tamil Nadu on Saturday (June 28, 2025). The remains were identified as those of Hemachandran, 52, a native of Wayanad, who had been reported missing from Kozhikode on March 20, 2024. Two Wayanad natives — Jyothish Kumar, 32, and B.S. Ajesh, 27 — have been arrested for allegedly abducting Hemachandran from Kozhikode under the pretext of a financial deal and taking him to the Cherambadi forest. Police said an intensified search was on to nab prime suspect Noushad and a woman who allegedly assisted the gang. Based on the statements of the arrested men, the body — which had been secretly buried — was exhumed from the Cherambadi forest with the assistance of police and forensic teams from Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Forest and Revenue officials were also present during the operation. Assistant Commissioner of Police (Medical College) A. Umesh and Inspector P.K. Jijeesh led the special investigation team formed under District Police Chief (Kozhikode City) T. Narayanan and Deputy Commissioner of Police Arun K. Pavithran. 'A DNA test will be conducted to confirm the victim's identity as part of legal procedures. The suspects were traced through scientific analysis of cell tower data and the victim's call records,' said a senior officer from the special investigation team. He added that the missing person case, which was later found to be a planned abduction and murder, came to light after the victim's wife filed a complaint.. Before his disappearance, Hemachandran had been living in a rented house near Mayanad in Kozhikode for his private chit fund business. Police said he had financial disputes with the suspects, which eventually led to his alleged abduction and murder. He was reportedly called to the Kozhikode Medical College premises with the help of a woman, from where he was forcibly taken to Cherambadi.

Tripura needs stronger security due to current situation in Bangladesh: CM
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Saturday exhorted various agencies to enhance security and surveillance in the state, given the current situation in Bangladesh. Tripura is surrounded by Bangladesh on three sides. Therefore, strengthening of security is needed, the chief minister said after inaugurating the state's first cyber police station here. "We all know the present situation in Bangladesh. There is a need to enhance security arrangements. The northeastern state has been made into a corridor for the smuggling of drugs and narcotic items. Infiltration from across the border is also another problem," he said. "There are reports that a section of people go close to the international border (Indian side) and have conversations with people living on the other side of the international border. The situation may turn ugly once AI-enabled 5G service is available," he said. Referring to the shift from conventional warfare during 'Operation Sindoor', the chief minister said cannons and the presence of forces were not seen in the conflict (With Pakistan). "Modern warfare requires a click," he said. "A mobile phone has become more dangerous than AK-47 rifles. Advanced technology has changed the form of battle, conflict or war," he said. Terming cybercrime a kind of shadow warfare, he said the security forces need to fight the criminals digitally to prevent fraudulent activities. Emphasising awareness among the people about cyber fraud activities, Saha said the security agencies are also required to upgrade their skills to foil fraudulent activities on digital platforms. The Director General of Police (DGP), Anurag Dhankar, urged the people to contact the newly inaugurated cyber police station if they encounter any incident related to cybercrime. The cyber police station is located in Agartala's AD Nagar and it will deal with all cyber-related crimes across the state. The Centre has given Rs 45 lakh out of the total outlay of Rs 5 crore.
