Krishnakumar S.N. Nair, a Dubai-based Indian man threatened to kill Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan leading to his getting fired from his job. Krishnakumar S.N. Nair, a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) supporter, in a Facebook video on Tuesday said that he would soon travel to Kerala to carry out the act, Khaleej Times reported on Thursday.

“I am a former RSS worker. I am going to be active again. I am resigning my job here and returning to Kerala. I am staying in Dubai. I will be in Kerala for two to three days with an aim to kill. I am least bothered how my life is going to end. If we decide to kill a person then we need to finish the job,” he said in the four-minute video.

Talking about the reason behind his decision, Krishnakumar said there was no action taken by Kerala police for derogatory remarks made recently by a Kerala television artiste against a state BJP woman leader. Sabumon Abdusamad in his Facebook post had made sexually inappropriate remarks against Lasitha Palakkal. Earlier this week, she had said that despite complaint registered at police station in Kannur no action was taken.

Nair, who used to work as a senior rigging supervisor at the Abu Dhabi-based Target Engineering Construction Company, also hurled abuses at Vijayan and commented about his caste in his video. Nair was terminated with immediate effect on Wednesday for the provoking post in an inebriated condition at the company accommodation.

However, Nair later apologised, saying he had posted the video when he was drunk.

“I have lost my job. I am ready to face any action. I remain an RSS supporter. I seek forgiveness from Pinarayi Vijayan and all politicians,” Nair apologised on Wednesday.
