Injured42

The 2009 Beemapally police shooting was an incident that happened in Beemapally, a coastal area in southern Kerala, India.[1] Six persons died and 42 others were injured. The Malayalam movie Malik is loosely based on this incident.[2] Four policemen were suspended and the city police commissioner was transferred in the aftermath.[3]

Investigation

A judicial commission headed by district judge K. Ramakrishnan investigated the incident[4]. The Commission submitted a report to then chief minister Ommen Chandi in January 2012. Following the report, the state government requested the CBI to investigate the explosives found at the location[5]. CBI submitted the closure report on 2013 as they could not establish how the explosives arrived at the location and people behind it[6]. 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 policemen involved[7].
