The High Court of Karnataka has said that the video footage from November, 2022, recorded in the CCTV systems installed in the Forensic Sciences Laboratory (FSL) and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) offices in Bengaluru can be collected or retrieved, if still available, and produced before the special court for NIA cases in BJP Yuva Morcha member Praveen Nettaru’s murder case.
The court directed its Computer Cell head and staff to visit the offices of the FSL and NIA to find out whether footage was still available, and if available, be brought before the special court in a sealed cover.
A Division Bench comprising Justice Sreenivas Harish Kumar and Justice G. Basavaraja issued the direction while disposing of a petition filed by Mohammed Shiyab, the prime accused in the case.
