HC orders crime branch probe into death of lawyer, minor daughters
Kochi: High court has ordered a crime branch investigation into the death of Adv Jissmol Thomas, a practising lawyer of the high court from Ayarkunnam in Kottayam, and her two minor daughters, whose bodies were recovered from the Meenachil River on April 15. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The bench of Justice P V Kunhikrishnan issued the directive on a petition filed by Jissmol's father, P K Thomas of Puliyannoor, seeking a crime branch inquiry into the incident. According to prosecution, Jissmol is alleged to have died by suicide along with her daughters, Neha (4) and Nora (1), by jumping into the Meenachil River around 3pm on April 15. However, the petitioner contended that subsequent investigation of WhatsApp chats retrieved from Jissmol's mobile phone revealed that she had been subjected to mental and physical cruelty by her in-laws. Based on this, the local police initially registered a case and later altered the charges, deleting Section 194 (Police to enquire and report on suicide) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and adding Sections 85 (cruelty by husband or relatives of husband) and 108 (abetment of suicide) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). In his petition, Thomas alleged that police failed to properly investigate the possibility of a premeditated murder. He further pointed out that although his daughter's sister-in-law, who is currently in the UK, was arrayed as an accused, no steps have been taken to bring her back to India. He also alleged that key witnesses, including the housemaid, had not been questioned, nor was the CCTV footage from the house of the accused seized. Taking note of the petitioner's apprehensions, the court ordered a crime branch investigation into the case.
