KOTTAYAM: My investigation was honest and a proof of it is the court verdict, said CBI former DySP Varghese P Thomas. He was talking to the media soon after the court found the accused guilty. He was in tears while talking to the media. Varghese who gave a report mentioning the case as a murder had to take VRS under pressure.

His words
I investigate cases honestly. The Abhaya case was investigated accurately and deeply as there was more publicity. All cases are investigated like that. This case was also probed with hundred percent honesty. The court's verdict is proof of that.

If the guilt is proved that means truth has won. It does not matter whatever be the quantum of sentence. My investigation has been proved fair as soon as the guilt was proved. I am happy, said Varghese P Thomas.

These are tears of joy. I had to do this as I was under pressure and my VRS is the price paid for standing for truth. I took VRS when I had ten more years in service. Many of those who were with me became DIGs, he said.
