Walayar case: CBI to send mobile phones of the accused for scientific examination

The POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act court here, which is trying the sensational Walayar case in which two minor sisters had been found dead in mysterious circumstances more than six years ago, has permitted the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to send the mobile phones of the accused for scientific examination. The CBI investigation team will also send the mobile phone of the victims’ mother for scientific examination.

The court here accorded permission to the CBI on a petition it filed for scientific examination of the mobile phones of the accused as well as the victims’ mother.

However, the court will take a decision on the CBI’s request for subjecting the victims to a lie detection test on October 30.
