Priyaranjan told the police that he did not harbour any animosity towards Adishekar.
The probe revealed that the murder was premeditated and carried out to avenge the boy, Adishekar, for chiding him for his misdemeanour before a place of worship recently.
Observing that the crime was of a serious nature, the Kattakkada first class judicial magistrate court said the bail could not be granted now as police are conducting the investigation.
Police modified the bailable charge they had registered against the accused initially to a non-bailable one after the man's daughter deposed that she too was assaulted in the melee.
Police sources said Saju was the owner of the sand excavator that was used to fatally injure 36-year-old Sangeeth, who was killed for blocking the way of sand smugglers.
