The media should certainly reveal why they did this news because they have vested interest to mislead the investigation which is going in the right direction now,' said Vijayan.

He also lashed out at the Congress and alleged the party has links with criminal gangs.

'Om Prakash did stay with a former Congress legislator at his quarters here. This legislator is now a Lok Sabha member. It is to hide this relation that baseless allegations are leveled by the Congress party. You make an inquiry with whom did Prakash stay in Dubai?' said Vijayan.

The Congress, as well as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), have alleged that police are under duress because of the alleged links between Kerala Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan's son Bineesh and Om Prakash and Rajesh.

Reacting to Vijayan's allegation against the media, veteran journalist Babu Bhaskar said that it is unfortunate that Vijayan is speaking like a judge.

'It is the duty of the court to decide if the investigation is going ahead in the right or wrong direction and not Vijayan's,' said Bhaskar.
