One of the prime accused persons in the Kodanad dacoity-cum-murder case, K.V. Sayan, alleged that the CB-CID police team, conducting an inquiry into the case, was harassing him and his family.
The case came up for hearing before district and sessions court in Udhagamandalam on Friday, June 23, 2023. Advocates representing the accused alleged before the district sessions judge, A. Abdul Kadhar said that police personnel from the CB-CID investigating the case, were appearing at the house of Sayan unannounced, and were questioning him about the case, causing him mental agony. The judge told the police to formally summon the accused for inquiries relating to the case.
K. Vijayan, one of the advocates representing the accused, also asked the judge to invoke Section 310 of the Code for Criminal Procedure, in order to inspect the ‘scene of occurrence’ since it is has come to their knowledge that the very scene of occurrence where security guard Om Bahadur Thapa was killed and tied, was missing from the scene of occurrence detailed by the police.
