Justice Sunil Thomas held it was a fit case for the CBI and directed the agency to take over the probe from the state police in a month. The court passed the order on petitions filed by Mani’s wife Nimmy and brother R L V Ramakrishnan seeking a CBI probe into the death of the 45-year old actor.

The Kerala government had on June 11, 2016 decided to hand over the case to the CBI, which, however, had turned it down saying its hands were full as it was investigating many other cases.

The CBI had taken the same stand in the court during the earlier hearing. The HC rejected the CBI’s submission and ordered it to probe into the actor’s death.
