However, the counsel for the CBI argued that the investigation only reached the agency after six years Ramajayam’s death, by which time vital evidence was missing. Despite such a situation, the CBI was putting its best efforts in bringing the investigation to its logical conclusion, he submitted.
It was the CBI’s stand that the very nature of the deceased, who had many political and business rivals, widened the scope of the motive. Over and above, with lack of scientific evidence such as chance fingerprints, eye-witnesses and CCTV footage, the issue was further compounded.
The Special Public Prosecutor opined that the CBI was putting sincere efforts to bring the investigation to its logical conclusion, and that there was no need to re-transfer the case.
