It is after Kovilpatti Judicial Magistrate submitted that the Sathankulam police were not just cooperating with the probe being conducted but preventing the Kovilpatti Judicial Magistrate and used derogatory words against the Investigating Magistrate.
And then in an unprecedented move High Court asked the Tuticorin District Collector to depute officials from the Revenue Department to take control of the Sathankulam police station.
The court also asked the forensic team to collect all the materials to protect the evidence .
Also The high recommended transfer advisory to Tamilnadu government to DSP and ADSP of Sathankulam station and also filed Criminal Contempt petition against Kumar DSP , Prathapan ADSP and Maharajan Constable and also summoned them to appear in person at Highcourt by 10:30 am on 30 June
