The Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe Special Court at Mannarkkad will expedite the ongoing trial in the lynching case of Attappady Madhu. The court said on Wednesday that it would speed up the trial by hearing five witnesses every day.
The court decided to hear five witnesses every day following a directive by the High Court to expedite the case. Although Madhu, a tribal youngster from Chindakki in Attappady, died after he was tied and beaten up by a group of people on February 22, 2018, the trial of the case began nearly after four-and-a-half years. The trial began on June 8 this year.
