KOLLAM: The scientific test report, believed to be crucial in the Sabarimala gold theft case, was handed over to the Special Investigation Team on Saturday. The Kollam Vigilance Court accepted the test report conducted by the Vikram Sarabhai Space Center.

Further steps will be taken after examining this report in detail. This scientific investigation report will also be included in the investigation progress report to be submitted to the High Court on the 19th.
