more-in The police team probing the murder of Maharaja’s College student and Students Federation of India (SFI) activist Abhimanyu arrested yet another accused just when they are gearing up to submit the first set of charge-sheets in the case shortly. Reports said that Arif Bin Salim, district secretary of the Campus Front, residing near Aluva, surrendered before the police. He is the second accused in the case. Preliminary investigations by the police suggest that he was responsible for bringing the assailants to the college campus sparking off the skirmish that eventually led to the murder of Abhimanyu. He was one of the eight accused against whom the police had issued lookout notice earlier this week. The police have, by now, arrested nine out of the 17 accused directly involved in the murder and are now on the lookout for the remaining persons. Abhimanyu M., an undergraduate student at Maharaja’s College in Ernakulam, was stabbed to death on the college campus around 12.45 a.m. on July 2.
