He was recently acquitted by a court in the case related to the murder of DYFI activist Shibin previous year.
20-year-old Kaliyarambath Aslam was attacked by an unidentified gang who came in a vehicle with a Kannur registration number at around 5.30 pm. He later succumbed to his injuries in the Kozhikode Medical College Hospital.
Restrictions under Section 144 of CrPC were imposed on Saturday for the next ten days in seven police station limits in Vadakara and Nadappuram areas in the aftermath of the murder, police said.
Meanwhile, the police has constituted a special team to probe the case.
Police personnel have been deployed in strength at important locations. “He had around 10 brutal wounds on his body”, they said.
Aslam, a native of Nadapuram, was the third accused in the Thooneri Shibin murder case.
