Police to seek court’s approval to hold further probe

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A special team of the police will approach the court on Tuesday seeking its permission to conduct a further probe into the 2021 Kodakara hawala case.

Once the court grants its consent, the police will record the statement of former BJP Thrissur district committee office secretary Thirur Satheesh, who stirred a hornet’s nest by alleging that cash stolen from a car at Kodakara was part of hawala money received by state BJP leaders for election expenditure.
