Court Allows Electronic Evidence in Dalit Youth Murder Case
A court is hearing a murder case involving Dalit youth Veedhi Subrahmanyam.
Prosecutors asked to use electronic evidence, such as CCTV video.
They want to use this material while questioning Anantha Satya Udaya Bhaskar Rao and his wife, Roja.
The defence lawyers objected to the request.
They argued that the request was not legally proper.
The court rejected those objections.
Prosecutors also said a court record had listed 32 certificates when there were actually 54.
The judge allowed that record to be corrected.
The SC, ST Special Court allowed prosecutors to present electronic evidence in the murder case of Veedhi Subrahmanyam.
The evidence includes CCTV footage to be used while questioning YSRC MLC Anantha Satya Udaya Bhaskar Rao and his wife, Roja.
The court dismissed the defence’s counter-affidavits and technical objections to the prosecution’s petition.
Prosecutors said the number of Section 65-B certificates was incorrectly recorded as 32 instead of 54.
Judge Junaid Ahmed Maulana allowed the prosecution to correct the certificate count after hearing both sides.
