A police sub-inspector was shot dead by an accused in a dowry harassment case when the police reached his house to arrest him

A four-member police team led by Sub-Inspector Vijaykrishnan, 53, had gone to the house of Mujeeb Rehman, at Padayanthal within the Kalikkavu police station limits in Nilambur in Malappuram district, to execute an arrest warrant issued by a local court as the latter had been evading a summons for some time. The police sub-inspector was shot dead by the accused in a dowry harassment case when the police reached his house to arrest.

This incident reminds the brutal attack that led to the death of a Police Constable called Vinod during an agitation in Muthanga of Wayanad. The kins of the accused got cash and job from the Government. But the death of the Police Constable remained 'unknown' to the Government and the media.

Let us see what the Government will do?
