BREAKING: Madras High Court orders transfer of Thanjavur student death case to CBI. #thanjavurcase #Lavanya

"For fair investigation, it must be transferred to CBI as in 2006, there was another case of a girl Sukanya declared as suicide. After an investigation in 2010, it came to light that she was gang-raped," said the petitioner.

“When learned Senior Counsel asserted that he does not believe in conversion, I knew that he was speaking from his heart. But the question is whether Sister Saghayamary & Sister Rachel Mary are made of same fibre. I hope investigation by CBI will bring out the truth” #Lavanya

Court has posthumous duty to render #JusticeForLavanya says Madras HC, adds that the Home Minister of the State has eloquently taken a certain stand and investigation cannot thus carry out by State Police

I fail to understand as to why the Thanjavur Superintendent of Police reacted as if she had come in contact with a live electric wire (to brush aside allegation of conversion). After all an allegation has been made that there was an attempt to convert: Madras HC #Lavanya

There is nothing inherently improbable in the allegation
that there was an attempt at conversion: Madras High Court says as it draws similarities from movies and pop culture to show that attempts to convert by are a possibility #Lavanya

Some states have passed legislation to ban Forcible conversions & it was challenged in SC but counsel Mr Frank Anthony had argued that Article 25(1) includes right to convert : Madras HC indicates attempt of forceful conversion highly possible but State police brushed it aside

Justice Swaminathan says many areas in Tamil Nadu have anglicised names. He has discussed a myriad of issues in this light to insinuate the likelihood of attempted conversions & slams Police for ruling out the angle #CBIForLavanya

Madras High Court says that the SP police should have goaded the conversion angle but she threatened the person who shot the video which is actually a dying declaration of the child. #CBIForLavanya #MadrasHighCourt

"Police bolstering counter narrative instead of finding truth": Madras High Court says circumstances indicate conversion angle, transfer #Lavanya Death case to CBI
