CBI To Probe Kerala Child Trafficking Case
Central Bureau of Investigation has accepted to probe the child trafficking case that recently occurred in Kerala. CBI has informed the Kerala high court that they will be taking the case.
The CBI counsel made the submission when two public interest writ petitions relating to the issue came up before the Bench comprising Chief Justice Manjula Chellur and Justice Vinod Chandran.
The court also appointed High Court lawyer Devan Ramachandran as amicus curiae to assist the court in the case. The court said the amicus curiae was appointed in view of the serious issues involved in the matter in which 588 children were brought from other States.
The Bench had earlier observed that the State police would have to face practical difficulties as more than two States were involved in the case.
Therefore, it would be desirable to have the case investigated by CBI. The government had submitted that as many 588 children were brought from Jharkhand, Bihar, and West Bengal to the orphanages in the State in two days.
