Kochi: The Kerala High Court has rejected the bail application filed by former Travancore Devaswom Board Secretary S. Jayasree, the fourth accused in the Sabarimala gold theft case.
The court accepted the SIT’s argument that granting bail could hinder the progress of the investigation. Jayasree had sought bail citing health issues and willingness to cooperate. Earlier, the court had rejected the bail plea of former Administrative Officer S. Sreekumar. Notices will now be issued to both individuals.
Jayasree is accused of issuing the order to hand over gold plates to the prime accused, Unnikrishnan Potty, claiming they were required for repair work.
