KOZHIKODE: It has been six days since the police started the interrogation of Shahrukh Saifi, the accused in the Elathur train arson case, but no vital information has been obtained. Even as central agencies confirm the terror link, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by ADGP MR Ajith Kumar is struggling to get to the bottom of it.

The opposition has raised widespread criticism against the SIT for not collecting evidence from the scene of the incident. Even though the medical team has given a report that the health condition of the accused is satisfactory, there is a delay in the collection of evidence. If the state police are struggling to get any trace, the question of why the investigation is not being handed over to the central agency is being asked by the opposition and others. The SIT probing the case met and assessed the situation. It is reported that the current situation will be explained to the DGP and Chief Minister on Wednesday.
