The Kerala High Court on January 22 (Monday) dismissed the bail application filed by Laila Bhagaval Singh, the third accused in the Elanthoor human sacrifice case.
The petitioner submitted that she had been behind the bars since October 25, 2022. As the investigation was over and the final report has been filed, there was no need to detain her in custody any longer and she could be released on bail.
Dismissing the bail plea, Justice Sophy Thomas observed that the manner in which the accused persons allegedly committed the offence is really shocking and beyond human imagination. It was a case which had shattered the conscience of society as a whole and it was a shame to the entire humanity. The allegations would show that wickedness and cruelty of the human mind had gone beyond any proportions.
