KOLLAM: Reports said the accused in the murder of Dr Vandana Das has no mental issues. Dr Arun of mental health centre examined him and said that he is responding to everything correctly. The crime branch took over the investigation of the case the other day. The investigation team had the other day seized the hard disc of the CCTV installed in the hospital. They will move the court seeking his custody.

Meantime, Sandeep testified that a group of people were coming to kill him and that he called the police to escape from them. The crime branch will also examine this. No hints were obtained from his phone on Sandeep using drugs. The investigation team is of the belief that he committed the crime under the influence of drugs.
