The Kerala High Court has acquitted Minister MM Mani and three others in connection with Ancheri Baby murder case.
The murder case of Anchery Baby was reopened after MM Mani boasted the political murder in a public meeting.
In the speech delivered on May 25, 2012, that has since been called as the '1...2...3 speech,' the senior Communist leader is heard "boasting" about the CPI (M) murdering as many as 13 political rivals.
At the time of making the fiery speech, Mani was the Idukki district secretary of CPI (M) and the controversy had forced the CPI (M) to remove Mani from his post.
According to reports, a total of 4 cases were filed against Mani in 2012, after he spilled the beans about the political killings.
These pertain to the murders of Anjery Baby, Mullanchira Mathayi and Muthukaadu Nanappan, which were re-opened after his speech.
