Maoists on Friday issued a poster, calling for death to Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, saying he has failed the adivasis.
An officer from Pazhayannur police station near Thrissur, 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 even the basic ration meant for the adivasis was not being distributed properly. Hence it was time to kill Vijayan.
