Keralam Government Receives Legal Opinion to Proceed Against Gyanesh Kumar

Director General of Prosecution T. Asaf Ali advised the Keralam government that there is no legal bar to proceeding against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over a two-decade-old suicide case.

The case involves the suicide of Malaysian engineer Lee See Been, a former project officer for a World Bank-aided M.C. Road reconstruction project, who alleged harassment by Kumar.

The legal opinion suggests reopening the inquiry under Section 306 IPC, stating that Kumar's bureaucratic influence should not prevent authorities from setting the law in motion.
