The Kerala police have opposed a plea by some rights activists to conduct a fact-finding inquiry into the killing of a suspected Maoist leader on March 7 in Wayanad district.
The crime branch wing of the state police submitted in the Kerala High Court recently that the petitioner's plea to allow them to conduct a parallel inquiry has no legal backing.
Noting that investigation by the Crime Branch and magisterial inquiry was already on, the Crime Branch, in a statement, said "when the two legal fact-finding procedures are going on, the petitioner's plea for conducting a fact-finding inquiry is not at all tenable."
