Special prosecutor in actress attack case resigns

KOCHI: A Suresan, special prosecutor in the actress attack case, has resigned. He has informed this to the government. The case will be considered again on November 26. The court had informed the investigating official to appear on that day.

There were some dramatic incidents on the trial in the case earlier. The attacked actress had approached the high court pointing that it is not possible to get justice from the trial court. A Suresan, the former special prosecutor had left the court once. The high court had ruled out transfer of trial court sought by the actress and the prosecution. Suresan was not present in the court when the case was taken up by the trial court. He informed the government about his resignation via a letter to additional chief secretary (home). The government has so far not confirmed his resignation. The government is likely to approach the Supreme Court challenging the high court verdict. However, the high court single bench dismissed the plea on the ground that it would create a false precedent.
