The ongoing trial into the alleged lynching of Attappady native Madhu witnessed some interesting turn of events on Friday when the SC/ST Special Court at Mannarkkd chided a policeman for copying into a laptop the content of a flash drive given for examination to the court.
The court ordered that the video in the flash drive should be viewed only after bringing in an expert from the government IT Cell.
The court’s directive came while examining a plea against Sunil Kumar, the 29th witness who had turned hostile. Mr. Kumar’s counsel demanded that surveillance camera footages from Anavayur and Ponniyammal Gurukulam be examined. The footages had the presence of Mr. Kumar in them.
