Media exaggerating IAS officer’s deeds, claims father-in-law

“A group of people demolished parts of a wall around my property near Old Boat Jetty canal in Kottayam so that they could have easy access to Karapuzha Link Road,” he said. “Anticipating the demolition and encroachment, I had filed a petition in the Munsiff Court in 1993 seeking protection to my property. When the case was pending in the court, the wall was partially demolished. The court ordered to maintain the status quo and with police protection, the wall was reconstructed in February 1993. It was Raju who helped us in getting police protection for the reconstruction,” he said.

“In 1995, my daughter was married to Raju. … My daughter suffered from the first day of the marriage. To humiliate and harass my family, Raju ordered to demolish the wall,” he said.
