Kerala Court Reviews Arrest Procedures as Crime Branch Re-Arrests Doctor in Student Death Case
The Kerala High Court has directed authorities to produce documents confirming proper pre-arrest procedures in the case of Dr. M.K. Ram, accused in the death of BDS student Nithin Raj. Dr. Ram was initially arrested on July 19 but released on bail due to procedural lapses. Subsequently, the Crime Branch re-arrested him and initiated a fresh investigation led by DySP Jeevan George, including re-recording family statements and probing alleged loan app involvement in the student's death.
