CPI(M) Accuses Congress-led Society of Fraud After Depositor's Death

CPI(M)'s M V Govindan has alleged that a Congress-managed cooperative society in Kozhikode is responsible for a depositor's suicide linked to financial fraud. The depositor, Ibrahimkutty Haji, reportedly took his life after futile attempts to recover his money, launching grave accusations against the society's management.

The CPI(M) has raised serious financial misconduct allegations against the Congress-operated Kadathanad Labour Contract Co-operative Society in Kozhikode, linking the purported fraud to the tragic suicide of Ibrahimkutty Haji, a depositor. CPI(M) secretary M V Govindan alleged that the society's failure to return Haji's deposits amounted to a 'murder'.

According to sources, Haji's deposited funds were withheld despite numerous pleas, compelling him to reportedly set himself ablaze outside a local Congress leader's house. The cooperative's response promised eventual repayment, pending government fund release. This incident has sparked a police investigation into the society's operations.
