The investigation team presented the first indictment sheet in the Ilantur double human sacrifice case. Muhammad Shafi and Bhagwal Singh’s wife Laila are charged in the 1600-page charge sheet in the Padma murder case.

On the 89th day after the arrest of the accused, the investigation team submitted the charge sheet to the Ernakulam First Class Magistrate’s Court. In the murder case of Padma, a Tamil Nadu native, in addition to the crime of murder, the three defendants were charged with rape, kidnapping, conspiracy, robbery, destruction of evidence and disrespect of the body. There are 166 witnesses in the case. 307 documents, 143 items including murder knife and cell phones were produced in court along with the indictment sheet.
