The RSS worker from Palakkad district was hacked to death on November 15, 2021 while he was taking his wife to her workplace.
The State Police soon arrested several persons including an office bearer of the Popular Front of India (PFI).
The petition moved by his wife, S Arshika, alleged that the perpetrators of the gruesome murder of her husband were still at large.
It was contended that the investigation was at a stand-still even though there was proof of the involvement of activists of the SDPI and PFI.
The petitioner claimed that her husband and his co-workers opposed the extremist ideologies of SDPI and PFI who wanted to suppress the growth of RSS and propagated terrorism in the minds of innocents.
Considering the fact that there is a larger conspiracy in the murder of Sanjith and having regard to the national and international ramifications and the perfunctory manner of conducting investigation by the local police, it was contended that the investigation must be handed over to the CBI.
