Madras HC refuses to order CBI probe into Pallikaranai caste

CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has refused to order transfer of the probe into the Pallikaranai ‘honour killing’ case to the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Justice GK Ilanthiraiyan on Wednesday rejected the petition filed by the victim G Praveen’s father, D Gopi, who prayed for setting aside the final report filed by the police at the Principal District and Sessions Court in Chengalpet and order a fresh probe by the CBI to bring out the truth behind the crime.

He also said that he had lost the confidence in the state police of having held an impartial investigation.
