Gurumurthy in connection with a complaint filed by the Chief Investigation Officer, Special Investigation Team probing the Sankararaman murder case.According to the Additional Public Prosecutor, Thiyagarajan the then CIO, S.P. Sakthivelu, preferred a complaint with the Judicial Magistrate-I, G. Uthamaraj, in January this year stating that Mr. Gurumurthy was writing articles in certain newspapers about the Sankararaman murder case with an intention to ``deviate'' and ``disturb'' the course of investigation. Subsequently, the Magistrate forwarded the complaint to the Vishnu Kanchi police who have registered a case.
