- The cops were unable to decode certain phone messages.
DMK leader M Karunanidhi has said that doubts are being raised over the manner in which Infosys techie Swathi's alleged killer of Ramkumar was arrested.
Karunanidhi expressed his concern after Ramkumar's father alleged that the cops might have slit his son's throat to prevent him from speaking the truth otherwise his son would have definitely denied the allegations that were levelled against him.
POLICE SHOULD CLARIFY DOUBTS
Karunanidhi says Chennai Police should come forward and clarify immediately if they are framing innocents in a rush to nab the culprits at the earliest and to maintain their pride.
After remaining in police custody for 3 days, Swathi's alleged killer Ramkumar was taken back to Puzal prison following a medical fitness checkup.
Sources say that Ramkumar was questioned for 3 days without rest and on the last day, Swathi's friend Mohamed Bilal was also present during inquiry.
Apparently, the police were confused and unable to decode certain phone messages between Bilal and Swathi and wanted Bilal to clear their doubts.
CRIME SCENE RE-ENACTMENT NOT DONE
Ramkumar's lawyer states that a crime scene re-enactment was not done as the cops planned earlier. He said during preliminary investigation it was found that the fatal blow to Swathi's face could be done only by a left-handed killer and Ramkumar is right handed.
Also the man who is suspected to have killed Swathi had crossed Nungambakkam railway station 20 minutes before Swathi was dropped there by her father.
Such contradictions arising after eyewitness' confirmed Ramkumar as the killer has caused more worries to the investigating officers.
However, the bail petition filed by lawyer Krishnamoorthy a day after Ramkumar arrested by police was dismissed on Friday by a sessions Court as 'no representation' of the accused was present at the court. This was due to Ramkumar's kin openly stating that Krishnamoorthy filed the bail petition without their consent following which Krishnamoorthy decided to temporarily abstain himself from appearing for Ramkumar.
A magistrate has earlier recorded that Ramkumar is under extreme mental distress and advised the police to conduct the investigation carefully.
