KOCHI: Sedition accused filmmaker Aisha Sultana told the High Court on Tuesday that her mobile phone and her brother’s laptop seized by Kavaratti police on June 25 had not been produced before the trial court till July 15.
She alleged the devices were sent to a forensic laboratory in Gujarat despite there being similar labs in Kerala, Chennai and Hyderabad. Aisha said she suspected that this was aimed at planting false and dangerous materials against her.
Aisha said this in the affidavit filed in response to the Lakshadweep administration’s allegation that she was not cooperating with the probe and had deleted some text messages from her phone after the island police registered the case against her.
