Kerala High Court denies bail in Dr Vandana Das murder case

Noting that no specific reasons were pointed out to doubt the integrity or credibility of the investigation, the Kerala High Court on Tuesday dismissed a plea seeking a transfer of probe to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the brutal killing of Dr Vandana Das by a patient at a taluk hospital in Kollam district in May last year.

Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas rejected the plea moved by the deceased’s father alleging that the police, “In a haste to wash their hands clean”, had fabricated the First Information Statement.

The court said that the parents of the deceased doctor in their plea did not point out allegations of any criminal intent or act committed by any of the police officers involved in the case and only alleged an act of cowardice by the police which is not a serious reason for the case to be transferred to the CBI.
