The BJP’s district committee is planning to approach the Kerala High Court seeking a thorough probe into the building number scam in the Kozhikode Corporation. Party district president VK Sajeevan alleged in a press release that the suspension of the four officials was revoked as a first step to sabotage the case.
He alleged that some officers and some retired employees of the corporation were behind the scam in which numbers were allotted to thousands of unauthorized buildings. The corporation is not making any effort to bring the culprits before the law. On the contrary, she is trying to sabotage the matter with the help of the state government. Mr. Sajivan said that the investigation of the Crime Branch has gone nowhere after the transfer of the investigating officer, who collected some digital evidence. He said that there are serious lapses on the part of the Corporation Secretary, and hence, he should be suspended before the investigation can proceed.
The BJP is planning to start a sit-in at the corporation office from September 14, the release said.
