The Chief Judicial Magistrate Court here on Thursday provided conditional permission to the Crime Branch (CB) to conduct further investigation into the 2015 Assembly ruckus case involving six Left Democratic Front (LDF) leaders, including General Education Minister V. Sivankutty and LDF convener E.P. Jayarajan.
The court directed the investigation team to complete the probe within 60 days. The police has also been ordered to apprise the court of its progress every three weeks. The court accepted the CB’s plea to commence trial in the case only after the completion of the investigation.
While fixing the conditions for further probe, the court reminded the investigation team that the case was eight years old and could not be delayed further.
