Hummer horror: Chief Whip releases tapes of top cop’s chat with officer in Nisham case, seeks probe

However, Chennithala said the investigation into the murder case was on the right track and there was no evidence to show the involvement of the DGP to shield Nisham. “It should be considered only as the conversation between a retired officer and a former commissioner,’’ he said.

Balasubramaniam denied the allegations, saying: “I have not asked anyone to talk on behalf of me. Let those who have raised the allegations explain it. I have not acted with a grudge towards any officer.’”

Krishnamoorthi also said he had not intervened to salvage any anti-social element. “I have no links with Nisham,” he said.
The CD has Krishnamoorthi talking to Thrissur city police commissioner Job soon after Nisham was arrested. Krishnamoorthi retired from police service on February 28 and Job was transferred in the second week of February, after a probe found that he had held a meeting with Nisham.

As per the conversation, Krishnamoorthi called Job and said that he was calling on the behalf of DGP K S Balasubramaniam, who is addressed to as Swami in the conversation.

Krishnamoorthi asked Job how Nisham could be helped to which Job said it was not possible due to the media and public attention on the case. Later, Job called Krishnamoorthi after he was suspended.

As the conversation goes ahead, Job indicated that Balasubramaniam had a grudge towards him as he failed to settle a case pending in the court. Balasubramaniam allegedly wanted Job’s involvement in the case involving a person named Vaitheeswaran. George told the media that Vaitheeswaran, a share trader, was involved in a fraud of Rs 2.5 crore.

In the conversation, Job also told Krishnamoorthi that there were allegations against the investigating officer and his team that they had sought money from Nisham to settle the case.

After playing the CD before the media, George alleged Balasubramaniam had also stayed at the guest house of a textile-gold trader, a friend of Nisham, in Thrissur for three days after the attack on the security guard.
