A special squad of the Crime Branch that recently investigated the unnatural death of tribesman Viswanathan near the Kozhikode Medical College Hospital could not find any concrete evidence to prove the allegations of his family members and relatives that the man had ended his life following a public trial.
The squad came out with the final report rejecting the allegations after a six-month long probe into the incident.
Sources said many of the previous findings of the local police were found true in the latest reinvestigation by the Crime Branch. Apart from verifying the previous case files, the team had re-recorded the statements of complainants and a few human rights activists. Re-examination of CCTV visuals was also done, besides interrogating some of the suspected persons based on forensic reports.
