Maoists on Friday issued a poster calling for death to Kerala Chief Minister

An officer from Pazhayannur police station near here bordering Palakkad district said the poster was stuck at a workshop. It read: “Vijayan’s head will be cut off.”

As the police could not register a case on its own, it moved the Wadakanchery Magisterial Court. A probe has begun. The poster was reportedly issued by the “Kerala chapter of Naxalbari”.

The contents of the poster touches upon the custodial torture and later death of a youth and the beating to death of an adivasi youth by a group of people near a forest area.

The poster said that even the basic ration meant for the adivasis was not being distributed properly. Hence it was time to kill Vijayan.
