Quotes
K R Ranjith
Inspector who led the special team
“In 2019, when the police probed the missing case, the friends had told investigators that they had dispersed after taking drugs around 3 pm that day. Nobody doubted this. While examining Vijil’s call records, we found that his phone had been switched off at 2 pm that day. The phone was switched back on for a short time the next day at another location within Kozhikode city before being switched off again. This made us assume that Vijil was either alive or someone had taken his mobile phone after his death or murder.”

“There was no indication that Vijil wanted to leave his family. He did not take any clothes or a bag for a long journey. We realised that only his friends would be able to tell the truth.”

DIG and Kozhikode city police commissioner
“We recently decided to reopen all pending missing cases. Special teams were formed for each case, and they were told to start fresh probes. Documents, evidence collected so far and statements were closely scrutinised. In this case, the team was asked to probe the case from a murder angle instead of treating it as a usual missing person case.”
