01:26That is, the family of the 55-year-old who was killed on October 25th in that case.
01:31Shibhimol, KG, joining me on the broadcast with more details on the same.
01:34Shibhimol, very good afternoon to you, firstly.
01:37While investigations still continue, several people arrested,
01:41speculations going on, probe continuing, but V.D. Satishan comes out to meet the victim's family.
01:46What more details are you learning?
01:50Well, you know, the Chief Minister visited the residents of the Balakrishnan
01:55met his family's daughter and his son.
01:57In fact, their residents, now they're staying at their family home
02:01but their residents actually come under Chief Minister's constituency, Paravur and Ernaklam also.
02:06So, this is CM visiting to confirm that, you know, the government stands with them
02:12because right from the beginning, the family has been raising allegations
02:16that there were lapses on the part of the investigative office
02:19because they were trying to protect this minor.
02:20The charges, you know, applied in the FAR were very simple charges
02:25that gave him a station bail, you know, within hours of this incident taking place.
02:29So, the family, in fact, sat on a protest outside the police station seeking justice.
02:34So, the government, the Home Minister right from the beginning said
02:37there were lapses, we have taken action and we stand strongly with the family.
02:41So, Chief Minister, by visiting the residents is passing a message that, you know,
02:45the government, whatever happens, whoever is at the opposite side
02:48will stand with the family.
02:50That's the assurance he went and gave them is what the family members have been telling.
02:54But, you know, it's not just in words but in actions that the family will need justice
02:58because whatever investigation, whatever happens in the next few days
03:04is what will decide whether justice is actually being told to the family
03:07because in the last one week, nothing has really gone in their favour.
03:11It's gone in favour of the accused in the case.
03:13Absolutely.
03:14And that's why it's been one of the most questionable probes
03:17that's been continuing into this very case.
03:19More details still unfolding
03:22and the family of the victims still awaiting justice as we speak.
03:26Thank you, Shibimol, for all of those details.
