Muthoot murder case charge-sheet rejection a setback to the police

By O.J.George

Now the trial court has returned the charge-sheet filed by the police regarding the murder of Paul M George, scion of the Muthoot family citing various reasons, palpably pointing out that there are several lacunae.

The crucial point is that dreaded goons Om Prakash and Rajesh Puthenpalam were treated with kidgloves. They are charged with merely destruction of evidence without probing into their role in committing the murder.

Narco analysis test was ordered on them by the court, but the police did not do so, simply citing ill health for Om Prakash and language problem for Rajesh Puthenpalam.
The financial deals between Paul M George and Om Prakash and the deals between Om Prakash and Rajesh Puthenpalam were not probed.

The statements of the driver of Paul M George were contradictory.

The court had suggested that narco test be conducted with the help of an interpreter, but that was not attempted.

There were discrepancies in the statements of Manu, the friend of the goons. There was only one stab wound and that was from behind on the body of Paul M George.

Meanwhile, a petition is lying before Kerala High Court by M.G.George, father of Paul M George, seeking a CBI inquiry into the murder.

Things are going from bad to worse for the Kerala Police with regard to their investigation into the Muthoot murder.
