Kochi, June 24: Nearly a year after the death of
Swami Saswathikananda, former head of the Sivagiri Mutt, in
mysterious circumstances, his family members have approached the Kerala High Court, seeking either a "free and fair
enquiry" or a CBI probe into his death by drowning at nearby
Aluva on July one last year.
When the petition by the late swami's mother, N Kausalya,
brother C Vijaykumar, sister K Santhakumari and Swami
Sivanandagiri, came up before Justice G Shashidharan, he
adjourned the petition to June 30 and directed the government
to inform its stand.
The petitioners sought directions to the Chief Secretary, Home Secretary and DGP to conduct a "free and fair" investigation into the cause of the swami's death or handover the investigation to CBI. The investigation by the state police was not satisfactory, they submitted.
