Court pulls up CBI for maligning Anagha family

[1]

Thiruvananthapuram: CBI special court here on Thursday pulled up the CBI for its conclusion in the Kaviyoor family suicide case that teenage girl Anagha was sexually abu­sed by her father Naraya­nan Namboothiri. CBI’s findings were based on as­s­umptions and many que­s­tions still rem­a­­ined una­n­sw­ered, court observed.
Considering a further investigation report filed by the CBI, the court asked whether the investigation team looked into the involvement of two males with whom Anagha reportedly had some connections.
The CBI’s concl­u­s­ion that no males other than Anagha's father were  in touch with her during the three days prior to her death had no ground. “Did the CBI deploy any security personnel  at Anagha's house to conclude that no males visited the house during those days ?” CBI special judge R. Reghu asked.
The court also pointed out that had Anagha faced any harassment from her father, she could have me­n­tioned it in the suicide note reportedly prepared by her. "If it was a case of mass suicide by all members of the family, what was the need for two suicide notes?" asked the court.
