“The accident happened about an year ago and we have been asking the NCC higher-ups to hand over the documents pertaining to the case to the police investigation team but they refused. NCC officials said that they are investigating the case under Indian Army Act and are unable to hand over the documents. Now we have approached the court to get a direction in this regard,” Saju Paul, DySP Thalassery told Deccan Chronicle.
Meanwhile, the parents of M Anas, who died in the firing have now approached Kannur Range DIG Dinendra Kashyap, against the delay in arresting the accused and rendering justice to them. “I have forwarded the complaint to the Kannur SP and has asked him to file a status report. As far as I know, NCC had not handed over various documents pertaining to the case to the investigation team,” Dinendra Kashyap said.
