Vandiperiyar rape and murder: Mother of minor victim moves Kerala High Court seeking fresh probe by SIT

The mother’s petition stated that it was due to the faulty, biased and defective investigation of the police that the trial court decided to acquit the sole accused for insufficient evidence.

In this regard, the mother’s petition submitted that the investigating officer neglected to gather fingerprints or medical evidence from the crime scene. The plea also alleged that items collected from the scene were left unsealed and unpacked and that they were submitted to the trial court after significant delays.

Therefore, the plea has called for a fair and impartial re-investigation by a special investigation team.

“A fair, honest, impartial, efficient and independent re-investigation is necessary in this matter,” contended the petitioner.

She added that the deceased minor girl belonged to a marginalized community and that her family deserves a fair trial and investigation into the death of their daughter.
