Alappuzha: Chief minister Oommen Chandy has given direction to hand over the probe of Sreya's death to CBI. Complaints were raised against the probe conducted by the crime branch. It was on October 16, 2010 that Sreya was found dead in the pond of Accept Kripabhavan. Sreya who came to attend a camp as part of Sunday school, went to bed along with other children and was found dead the next day in the pond. When the body was fished out of the pond there were injury marks on her lips and cotton was found in her nose. Police stated it as death due to drowning.
Sreya's parents later filed a compliant with the CM and crime branch began a probe. The crime branch probe was progressing in the right direction in the first phase. When there were reports that the injury marks on lips might be due to fish biting her lips or some other creatures, the crime branch drained the water from the pond but there were no such creatures.
Later the officer probing the case was changed. The next crime branch team collected evidence from 125 persons and when finding contradictions in their statements, it decided to perform narco analysis on a pastor. Crime branch also gave application in court too. But the pastor refused to attend the test. The probe was progressing very slowly.
