MUMBAI: Binoy Kodiyeri, son of CPM state secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishan, arraigned in a sexual abuse case, gave his blood samples for the DNA test. He gave his blood samples at the forensic lab in Kalina. Police said the results of the test will be submitted in the court within two weeks. The court had yesterday ordered him to give his blood samples when his plea seeking cancellation of the FIR in the case was considered. She had accused him in the case registered at Oshiwara police station of sexual abuse in the pretext of marriage.

The police’ argument was that a DNA test is necessary to prove the paternity of the child. A notice was sent asking him to give his blood samples for the DNA test. He refused to give his blood samples. The court had directed him yesterday to give his blood samples and submit the report within two weeks. He cited health issues when the court asked him to give his blood samples in the beginning. He later said that his plea seeking cancellation of the FIR is under the consideration of the court.
