THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The CBI team collected evidence over the death of violinist Balabhaskar. Evidence was collected from the accident spot along with Kalabhavan Soby, who gave a crucial statement in the case. The CBI team reached near the petrol pump which is one kilometre away from the accident spot.

Kalabhavan Soby’s statement was that there is mystery in the violinist’s death and it was not an accident but a planned murder. He said that he was there on the night the accident happened. He had also asserted that he saw some accused involved in the gold smuggling case at the accident spot.

The police and the crime branch had asserted that the accident happened due to the rash driving of driver Arjun.

However when the CBI took over the probe, the most different statement in front of them was that of Kalabhavan Soby.
