Thiruvananthapuram: Completing its three-year-long investigation into the sensational Jessna Maria James disappearance case, the CBI has informed the court that the investigation is stalled due to lack of evidence.
In February 2021, based on the order of the High Court, the CBI took over the case. The 20-year-old girl had left her home at Vechuchira in Pathanamthitta on March 22, 2018. CBI, in its closure report filed before the CJM court, said that what happened to Jesna could not be known. The report said that if the agency finds any evidence in the future, the case can be reopened.
Jesna’s family had claimed that the police did not investigate the case seriously, which has been rejected by the CBI report. Now the court will decide whether to accept the report or not.
