KOLLAM: The police is probing the role of a local resident related to the mysterious death of seven-year-old Devanandha. Though the post-mortem report mentioned that she died of accidental drowning, the investigating team is trying to remove the uncertainty of the incidents that happened before her death. A team of forensic surgeons will reach Elavur as part of it. If the team is convinced that there is something unusual on the child falling into the river, the suspect will be taken into custody. Her relatives had told the investigating team about their suspicion on that person.

Only somebody close to the house and the child can take her without using any force. So, the investigation team has placed him in the top of the list of suspects. Though there are many doubts and conclusions, lack of evidence is pulling the investigating team back. The investigating team was at Elavur the whole day yesterday. Nothing was found to uphold the conclusions.

Everyone, including the medical team who did the post-mortem will visit the spot today hoping to find some useful information. The inquiry team is facing thousands of questions from the statements recorded from hundreds of people including relatives and locals. The locals as well as the investigation team are clear that Devanandha drowned in the river. She may have jumped or thrown into the river due to external motivation. A clarity is needed on it. The expert team will be mainly examining it.

Though the investigating team say there are no suspicions in her death, a probe has been intensified. The expert team who conducted the post mortem is visiting the accidental spot following the request of the investigating officials.
