Naxal leader shot dead in Thirunelli in 1970
The State government on Friday informed the Kerala High Court that it would consider favourably the plea for compensation made by the legal heirs of A. Varghese, a Naxal leader who was shot dead in a fake police encounter at the Thirunelli forest area in 1970.
When the petition filed by the brothers and younger sisters of Varghese came up for hearing, Senior Public Prosecutor Suman Chakravarthy submitted that the government would consider the demand for compensation, if a representation was filed by the legal heirs of Varghese.
