The Madras High Court on Friday called for a status report on the ongoing further investigation into the 2017 Kodanad estate heist-cum-murder case. Since the prosecution claimed to have unravelled many new facts, the court wanted to know the status of the probe by September 16.
Justice N. Sathish Kumar passed the orders while hearing a petition filed by Manoj, alias S. Valayar Manoj, arrayed as the second accused in the case.
The petitioner insisted upon speedy trial and complained of the trial being prolonged due to the further investigation, taken up in August last year.
