Political Battle
The most well known cause for which Rajendran fought was his relentless court battles against the veteran politician K. Karunakaran including the followup of the famous Thattil John murder case.
The Congress Party "Leader" K. Karunakaran's role in the destruction of this journalist's life and career is widely known. Rajendran's biography talks about the elaborate plans the Crime Branch Police under DIG Jayaram Padikkal had chalked out to get some incriminating documents, which otherwise would have ruined the "leader's" political career.
The police did get the incriminating documents, but the biography states that during later years Director General of Police (DGP,retd.) Padikkal did repent for the "wilful destruction of a good man's life and career", and the unorthodox methods used against him.
