Abdul Aziz has also submitted a video tape that contain the conversation with one of the relatives of the girl. The relatives of the girls, in the tape, admitted the involvement of Kunhalikutty and Sreedevi in the incident that led to the death of the girls, he added.The case was treated as an accident and it was reported that the girls were run over by a train on October 29, 1996.

“According to the news reports appeared on October 30, 1996, the dead bodies of the girls were kept at Kozhikode Medical College Hospital, however, when I filed a request seeking the postmortem examination report of the girls under the Right to Information Act, the Medical College Hospital authorities answered that no such postmortem was held,” pointed out Aziz.

“It is clear that either the postmortem examination was not conducted or the report was removed from the records to protect someone,” alleged Aziz.

The case will be heard on March 23.
