KANNUR: The CBI has come forward with an unusual legal action in the Periya double murder case. A warning has been issued saying that they will seize the case diary if not produced. The CBI has issued summons to the crime branch under Section 91 of the CRPC Act.

It is rare to issue notice to the state agency under Section 91 of the CRPC Act. This is the first time the CBI is using this section in Kerala. The crime branch did not provide the case diary even after demanding it seven times. The crime branch claimed that they have an appeal in the Supreme Court. The CBI approached the Ernakulam CJM Court seeking the details. The CBI filed the plea on Monday.
