(L) C.P. Udayabhanu, and main accused Johny and his accomplice RenjithThrissur: The Kerala High Court on Monday said police team probing the real estate borker's murder in Chalakudy can question prominent advocate C.P. Udayabhanu.
The court made the observations while considering the advocate's anticipatory bail plea, which has been postponed to next week. The team informed the court that Udayabhanu was the seventh accused in the case.
Rajeev, a real estate broker, was found murdered in an abandoned building at Pariyaram. The police arrested three suspects on Friday and said the trio strangled Rajeevan after an altercation related to a property deal. The trio wanted the broker to return the money they had given as an advance payment, the police said.
Udayabhanu came under the scanner because Rajeev had written to the director general of police that he faced a threat to his life from the advocate.
The main accused, Johny (Chakkara Johny), and his accomplice Ranjith were arrested from Palakkad earlier this month.
