BALARAMAPURAM: The investigation into the murder of two-year-old Devendu in Kottukalkonam is proceeding and focused on the financial connections and personal enmity of the accused Harikumar. However, the police are also collecting more evidence about the astrologer Shankhumukham Devidasan who was close to the family, the unknown friend who bought a car for the child's mother Sreethu, and those who provided financial assistance. The police will apply to the court to take Harikumar into custody. The police are trying to collect more scientific evidence and file a charge sheet quickly.

Balaramapuram police questioned Shankhumukham Devidasan and his wife. Devidasan reiterated that he was close to Harikumar months ago and that there were no other financial transactions. The police are also examining the bank accounts of Sreethu and the astrologer and their phone conversations with relatives. To find out if Devidasan was involved in the murder, his conversations will be retrieved with the help of cyber police. Meanwhile, the police have concluded so far that Harikumar alone carried out the act.

Sreethu will be questioned again

Sreethu had made financial transactions with many people. She will be questioned again. Neyyattinkara DySP S Shaji said that points are still to be clarified. Meanwhile, the police have come to the conclusion that Sreethu had cheated money from the locals by lying. However, no one has filed a complaint against her in this regard. Although the police have inquired about Sreethu's financial transactions in the rented house and its surroundings, no one has said anything about it. The police have not yet clarified whether Sreethu was involved in the murder. The locals allege that Harikumar is not the only one involved in the murder.
