A new Jihadi whatsapp group among young Muslims in Kerala police has surfaced. The now deleted group was named Pacha Velicham 2.0, a second iteration of the original Pacha Velicham that was reported in January. While the first was centred in Adoor, this one was centred around Ernakulam and Kottayam. Two Rural SI who were the group leaders were identified by NIA as radicals. One was suspended and the other is under watch.
The group was deleted immediately before the murder of Abhimanyu by SDPI goons. The members of the group are suspected to be the ones who leaked information about police sweeps in order to help the culprits escape.
