Relatives of late Malayalam Actor Kalabhavan Mani today met Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and sought CBI probe into the death.

Ramakrishnan, Mani's younger brother, said they met the Chief Minister to press for a CBI investigation into the actor's death as they were not satisfied with the probe being carried out by the state police.

The 45-year-old actor, who had essayed various roles in south Indian films, had died under suspicious circumstances on March 6 this year at his farmhouse in Thrissur.

While a lab at Kochi had found traces of chlorpyrifos, a toxic pesticide, in his viscera sample, a Hyderabad lab had recently stated that traces of methyl alcohol were found in his blood.
 

Mani was undergoing treatment for a liver ailment at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, when the end came.
