THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: CBI has stated that there is no evidence against Congress leader KC Venugopal in the solar sexual assault case.

The investigation was later handed over to the CBI during the term of the first Pinarayi government.

The probe team had recorded the statement of the complainant three times and carried out scientific tests. The complainant had revealed to the media that she had handed over digital evidence and the clothes allegedly worn by Venugopal during the time of torture to the investigation team.
