The Crime Branch sprung a surprise when it sought permission for further probe in the Legislative Assembly ruckus of 2015 involving six Left Democratic Front (LDF) leaders including a Minister at the Thiruvananthapuram Chief Judicial Magistrate Court on Tuesday.
The move comes at a time when the court was set to announce the commencement of the trial in the case.
Crime Branch Deputy Superintendent of Police Sajeev who is spearheading the investigation submitted the petition that is perceived by various quarters as a delaying tactic to prolong legal proceedings in the case.
