In 2017, CBI had filed a closure report in the case after it failed to find any evidence to suggest that it was a homicide. However, Human Rights Organisation of Kerala president Omar Farooq later approached the court, claiming that an autorickshaw driver named Ashraf had confided in him crucial revelations on the death of Qazi and that he had in his possession some important evidence related to the case.
