Bangalore: The Karnataka High Court today extended the stay till January 30 on the investigation by Bagalur police against a Kannada film producer arrested in a murder case.
Justice Subhash B Adi extended the stay when film producer Govardhan Murthy's petition challenging the order of Director General and Inspector General of Police (DG and IGP) Shankar Bidari to transfer the case to the CID came up for hearing.
Vinod Kumar, an upcoming Kannada actor, was allegedly murdered by Goverdhan Murthy in a guest house in Bagalur on October 6, 2008.
A charge-sheet was filed and a trial began soon thereafter. Murthy then challenged the criminal proceedings in the high court as well as the Supreme Court.
Both petitions were dismissed. After two-and-a-half years, the trial had reached its fag end.
Last month, Bidari issued an order for transferring several cases, including Murthys, to the CID for further investigation and when the case came for hearing earlier this
month, the court granted stay till today (Jan 24) on the re-investigation.
