The Kerala High Court on Tuesday directed the Ernakulam Additional Special Sessions Court trying the 2017 actor sexual assault case to forward in two days the memory card containing the video of the sexual assault on the actor to the State Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL), Thiruvananthapuram, for examination in view of a change in the hash value of the card.
Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas directed the laboratory to analyse the card and submit a report to the investigation officer with a copy to the sessions court in a sealed cover within seven days. Justice Thomas also set aside the order of the sessions court rejecting the plea of the Crime Branch seeking to forward the memory card to the laboratory.
