Accused want permission to examine former CM, Sasikala, witness seeks completion of trial
The present controversy over the 2017 Kodanad Estate heist-cum-murder case has now spilled over from the Legislative Assembly to the Madras High Court with a few accused as well as a prosecution witness approaching the court with contradictory requests. While three accused D. Deepu, M.S. Satheesan and A. Santhosh Samy filed a revision against trial court's refusal to grant permission for examining former Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami, V.K. Sasikala and others, the witness ‘Anubhav’ Ravi alias Ravi insisted on completing trial at the earliest. Mr. Ravi, a jeweller-cum-realtor based in Coimbatore, told the court that he was also the joint secretary of AIADMK's Amma Peravai in Coimbatore city. He claimed to have got acquainted with prime accused Kanagaraj (since dead) when the latter was a driver to one of his friends Ashok Kumar of Chennai.
