P.K. Mohammed (born in 1936) was a secular Islamist[1] who lived in Chekannur, Malappuram district of Kerala, India. He disappeared on 29 July 1993. His death is uncertain.[2]

Disappearance and investigation[edit]

The CBI took over the case in 1996, and in 2000 arrested two members of the ultra orthodox Muslim sect under suspicion of murder.[3][4][5]

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.[6]

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.[4] The court found that Mohammed’s body was disposed of in some mysterious manner so as never to be recovered.[7]

A Decision Bench of the Kerala High Court acquitted the accused.[8] Even Mohammed’s death could not be proved.[8]

In popular culture[edit]

His disappearance is the subject of a 2009 documentary, Ore Oru Chekannur.[9]
