Udhagamandalam: A district magistrate court here on Thursday posted the hearing on the Kodanadu burglary case to September 8.
Only four of the 10 accused were produced before the court in the day, forcing it to adjorn the hearing. On August 21, the court had issued an arrest warrant against eight accused in the case, as police produced only two accused K V Sayan and Valaiyar Manoj before the court.
After the court’s direction, police arrested accused Manoj Sami and Udhayakumar. Another accused, Jamseer Ali, is in the custody of the Kerala police. The remaining five accused are still at large.
On April 24, 2017, one of the security guards of former chief minister J Jayalalithaa’s Kodanadu estate bungalow was found dead, while another guard was grievously injured. The bungalow was found broken open.
