Kannur Squad

Kannur Squad

2015: ASI George Martin and his team of CPO officers: Jose, Jayan and Shafi, known as the Kannur Squad, head out to search for a political goon, who is in a hideout in the Kannur-Virajpet forest area. They catch him, but coincidentally find the hanged body of a stranger in the forest. With the case proving to be ruled out as a suicide, George believes that the stranger was murdered and sets out to find the real perpetrator. The squad identifies the suicider as Murugan, a lorry driver, and the investigation moves to Coimbatore, where the culprit is revealed to be Murugan's wife Vanaja and her nephew Rakesh, who was actually cheated by Murugan. Shortly after this incident, Jayan is found to have taken a bribe from the sand mafia and the group gets disbanded. 2017: A rich NRI businessman Abdul Wahab was dacoited and murdered in Kasaragod. Unable to find any leads, SP Manu Needhi Cholan assigns the Kannur Squad to investigate the case even though there is the shadow of the bribery scandal and there is a lot of resistance to have the group investigate this crime. The squad begins their investigation, where they capture the suspect Riyas, as he bought two SIM cards and his urine sample(the culprit was affected by kidney stone) was found at the crime scene, and interrogates him. Riyas reveals that he used to work at a hotel in Qatar and had met the hotel owner's sons Ameer Shah and Zulfiqar Ali, who wanted money for their new business.
