KOCHI: The Ernakulam Chief Judicial Magistrate Court on Monday adjourned a petition seeking a directive to the CBI to file the progress report in the Sampath custodial murder case to April 23. The petition was filed by Sampath’s brother Murukesan seeking court intervention in the investigation of the case. Murukesan alleged that there were attempts to sabotage the inquiry. The CBI had implicated Muhammad Yasin and Vijay Sakhare, the then Thrissur range IG and Palakkad SP respectively. “Though the witnesses gave strong and convincing evidence against them, the CBI officials were trying to protect the IPS officers,” the petitioner said. There were no sincere efforts on the part of the CBI to book these officers who had intimidated the witnesses in their official capacity. They are active behind the scene, manipulating the investigation to save the bigwigs in the state police, Murukesan said.
