Let all doubts be cleared in the Muthoot murder case

By O.J.George

Caesar’s wife ought to be above suspicion, and on that premise all tangible and intangible doubts should be cleared in the investigation regarding the murder of Muthoot Paul M George.

It seems better that another agency, this time the CBI, goes into the crime and brings out all aspects of the episode as there have been clips after clips of charges, counter-charges, alleged revelations, impressions of foul play permeating the minds of the public, particularly in the wake of incessant coverage given by the electronic media, not to mention the print world.

It had come to such a pass that even if the police spoke something truthful, the people would not believe it.

In such circumstances, in fact the High Court has come to the rescue and referred the matter to the CBI. The police had also expressed its willingness to hand over the case to any other agency, provided the court expressed any doubts in the present manner of investigation.

Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan has expressed satisfaction over the court’s decision.

Let the truth come out, and let the facts speak for themselves so that the people would believe the goings-on.
