HC Questions Police Inaction in IB Officer's Alleged Suicide Case
A judge in Kerala is upset because the police haven't arrested a former intelligence officer.
This officer is suspected in the suicide of his colleague.
The officer filed a request to avoid being arrested, but it has been two months.
The court thinks the police aren't trying hard enough to find him.
The police say they can't find him because he's not using his phone or ATM card.
The court believes the police should arrest him because they may need him to help with the investigation.
The police also suggested that the officer emotionally and financially exploited his colleague.
The police also alleged that the officer had another relationship with another colleague.
The police further suggested that there is evidence of cheating and rape.
Kerala High Court expressed displeasure over the police's failure to arrest a suspended IB officer.
The case involves the alleged suicide of the officer's colleague, Megha Madhusoodhanan.
The court questioned why the police hadn't arrested Sukanth Suresh two months after the bail application.
The court suggested that police may not be keen on the arrest as they may not need him for interrogation.
The government pleader cited that the officer was absconding and could not be traced.
