Kerala HC rejects plea for CBI probe into RSS man’s murder

Kochi: The Kerala High Court on Thursday rejected a plea seeking CBI probe into the killing of an RSS worker who was hacked to death in November last year in Palakkad district of the state.

Justice K Haripal dismissed the petition moved by the deceased RSS worker’s widow. The detailed order is not yet available.

The state had opposed the plea saying it has arrested all the accused and that if any new agency comes in, it will have to carry out the entire process again which would delay filing of the final report and in the meanwhile, the accused might get bail.
