after leaving the army life behind kurup and sarada got married and moved to persia where he worked in an oil factory with high pay and his wife worked as a nurse they later went on to have 2 kids. years passed....
in 1984 kurup visited kerala along with his assistant (shahu). there he hatched a plan with his driver (ponnappan) and brother in law (bhaskaran pillai) to claim a life insurance that he had in his name in persia and split the money equally. this is how they planned it
**1.**find a body matching kurup's height and weight
- change the body into kurup's expensive clothes
3.put the body in kurup's car and make it look like the car had an accident and caught on fire
by this point they were unable to find such a body. however their plan worked when late one night while on the road in their car on the way to someplace they saw a man trying to hitchhike home the man's name was chacko, he was a film representative who was trying to hitch a ride home to his pregnant wife. the group saw that chacko matched kurup's height and weight. so they offered to drop him home and he accepted. during the ride the forced him to drink alcohol after chacko passed out from the tainted alcohol they strangled him to death and executed their plan.
Investigators were suspicious of the circumstances of the crime scene and later arrested kurup's friends one by one who all confessed that the body in the car was not of Kurup and that it was of Chacko. they were charged and convicted for murder but kurup went into hiding
till date sukumara kurup has not been caught even after 38 years and continued searches. he remains one of the most wanted people by cbi and interpol. some believe that he is dead but some believe he is alive somewhere in the world
