He disappeared on 29 July 1993. His death is uncertain.[3]
Career
Maulavi founded Quran Sunnath Society which is known for Jamitha Teacher, the first Indian woman imam.[2]
Disappearance and investigation
The CBI took over the case in 1996, and in 2000 arrested two members of the ultra orthodox Muslim sect under suspicion of murder.[4][5][6]
The case was hampered by the disappearance of a number of witnesses, whose property was seized when they fled abroad rather than appear to testify in 2008.[7]
Mohammed’s wife filed a petition seeking to arraign A.P. Aboobacker Musaliyar as a murder suspect through her lawyer, Advocate S.K. Premraj which was allowed.[5] The court found that Mohammed’s body was disposed of in some mysterious manner so as never to be recovered.[8]
A Decision Bench of the Kerala High Court acquitted the accused.[9] Even Mohammed’s death could not be proved.[9]
In popular culture
His disappearance is the subject of a 2009 documentary, Ore Oru Chekannur.[10]
