The SC/ST Special Court at Mannarkkad trying the lynching case of Attappady Madhu suspended the examination of witnesses on Wednesday, following a demand raised by the prosecution for the cancellation of the bail given to the accused.
Witnesses Rajesh, Jayakumar, Saithalavi, Manikandan, Ranjit and Anoop were to be examined on Wednesday. They had appeared to give statements before the court as the court had expedited its trial proceedings following a High Court directive.
The prosecution, however, demanded that the bail given to 12 of the accused should be cancelled as the accused had allegedly influenced the witnesses during their bail period.
