Human sacrifice case: Kerala HC reserves verdict in bail plea of accused

Kochi: The Kerala High Court on Friday reserved its verdict in the bail plea of one of the accused – Laila Singh in the sensational human sacrifice case.
“I was impressed with your (petitioner’s counsel) allegation that she (Laila) had no active role but now the prosecution says she was an active participant which would make a prima facie case against her. I was going to pass orders today but now I will go through the case diary and consider it,” said the court.
