KOCHI: Justice V. Ramkumar on Monday asked the counsel for the CBI to inform him about the steps taken to investigate the death of Sister Abhaya after receiving the test result of narco-analysis test conducted on the suspects in the case. The court issued an oral directive when a petition filed by the father of Abhaya seeking an investigation on the basis of narco-analysis test report came up for hearing.

Justice R. Basant on Monday issued notice to the Director-General of Police, Jammu and Kashmir, and Union Home Secretary on a bail petition filed by a suspected Hizbul Mujahideen activist arrested from Kumali in Idukki district.
