The 2009 Beemapally police shooting was a police shooting that happened at Beemapally, a coastal area in southern Kerala, India.[1] Six people died and 42 others were injured. Four policemen were suspended and the city police commissioner was transferred in the aftermath.[2]
Investigation
A judicial commission headed by district judge K. Ramakrishnan investigated the incident.[3] The Commission submitted a report to then chief minister Oommen Chandi in January 2012. Following the report, the state government requested the CBI to investigate the explosives found at the location.[4] The CBI submitted a closure report on 2013, stating they could not establish how the explosives arrived at the location and which people were behind it.[5] The Beemapally Muslim Jama-Ath Action committee rejected the judicial commission report by saying "The Ramakrishnan Commission report has not offered any justice to the victims. In fact, it has portrayed people from the Muslim community in bad light" and demanded strong action against the policemen involved.[6]
In popular culture
The plot of the 2021 film Malik is supposedly based on this event. Director Mahesh Narayanan replied that the movie was "taken from surroundings but it's still a fictional place with fictional characters."[7]
