Kerala HC Says CBI Probe into Violinist Balabhaskar's Death Not Foolproof, Orders Further Investigation

News 18  

The Kerala High Court on Thursday directed the CBI to further probe the death of popular violinist and musician Balabhaskar Chandran, who allegedly succumbed to injuries suffered in a road accident, saying the agency’s investigation into the matter “has not been foolproof”. The high court directed the agency to find out whether there was any conspiracy or connection between alleged gold smuggling, the road accident in September 2018 and the consequent death of the violinist. The court gave the order as it felt that the investigation by the CBI “has not been penetrating and the final report has still left several loose ends and many stones unturned”. The court pointed out that the CBI discarded the submissions of George as he was involved in 20 criminal cases — all based on failure to honour cheques and not serious offences — whereas the agency accepted submissions by other witnesses who were allegedly involved in serious offences like gold smuggling and ATM thefts.
