Kerala Govt Moves SC Against CBI Probe in Controversial Periya Twin Murder Case

News 18  

After a division bench of Kerala High Court upheld the decision of a single bench allowing CBI probe into the controversial Periya twin murder case, the CPI led LDF government has moved Supreme Court against the decision. Though the High Court had upheld the CBI probe, it had quashed the single bench decision of rejecting the chargesheet submitted by the Crime Branch in the case. The state government has now stated in Supreme Court that since the High Court has upheld the chargesheet, there is no need for a CBI probe as the case is on the right track. A year after the High Court ordered the CBI probe, the investigation agency has stated that there isn’t any progress in the case as the appeal filed by the state government in the division bench has not been resolved.
