An action council formed to seek a probe into the corruption charges at Malabar Cements Limited (MCL) and the kin of the late V. Sasheendran, former secretary of the company, in a letter on Saturday urged Chief Minister Oommen Chandy to issue notification for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the alleged corruption in this public sector unit at Walayar.
The former company secretary and his minor sons were found dead in mysterious circumstances on January 24, 2011, at their house at Kanjikode near here.
The letter said the CBI which was inquiring into the death of Sasheendran and his sons should also inquire into the corruption involving hundreds of crores of rupees as both were interlinked.
Sasheendran was a victim of the “mafia gang” that run this company looting the exchequer with the connivance of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats. He opposed this robbery in the company and fell victim to the “mafia gang”.
Four Vigilance inquiry reports recently filed in the court found corruption in the purchase of clinker, sweetener, fly ash, and machinery for the MCL.
But the Vigilance Deputy Superintendent of Police inquiring into the remaining two cases was recently transferred violating a High Court order against his shifting without completing the inquiry into the cases.
The letter said the action council members were getting threatening calls.
Two police constables from the Kasaba police station visited the house of action council convener Balamurali last week inquiring whether he faced any threat from anybody and needed police protection.
There were also posters circulated against him in false names at Kanjikode where he was residing, the letter said.
Action council vice-chairman Joy Kaitharath had received threatening calls recently asking him not to go ahead with the demand for the CBI probe.
