The Supreme Court on Monday directed Crime Branch-Criminal Investigation Department (Metro) in Chennai to file a status report on the progress it had made in its one-year investigation into the alleged murder of a human rights lawyer's son in 2011.
Advocate R. Sankarasubbu’s 24-year-old son S. Sathish Kumar, a law graduate, died in June 2011. The father was known for taking up human rights cases against the police. The son's death had caused a furore, especially among lawyers.
