Sreenivasan was killed in Alappuzha on 19th December.
But the main conspirators are yet to be arrested as it is believed that the main accused has fled to Karnataka.
The SDPI now made the oft-repeated allegation that Kerala police have forced SDPI workers to chant Jai Shri Ram. But Sakhare dismissed the allegation and said he would resign if the allegation was proved.
On Sunday (December 19) early morning, Sreenivasan was murdered in the presence of his mother and wife at his residence allegedly by members of SDPI which is the political front of radical Islamic outfit PFI.
Sreenivasan was also a lawyer by profession and he had contested as a BJP candidate from the Alappuzha constituency in 2016. Sreenivasan was brutally murdered hours after a local SDPI leader KS Shan was murdered by unidentified persons.
