Former Minister Douglas Devananda to stand trial via video conferencing
Former Minister Douglas Devananda is to stand trial, through video conferencing on March 5 to the Sessions court, Chennai, Indian media reported.
An intimation to this effect was sent to the prosecution by Fourth Additional Sessions Judge M Shanti stating that video conferencing arrangements were made for trial from March 5 and directed that prosecution witnesses in the case should be produced on that day without fail, DTN reported.
In 1986 Devananda and nine other Sri Lankan Tamils were involved in a shootout at Choolaimedu in Chennai in which a resident of the locality was killed. Though all the suspects were arrested, they absconded after being released on bail.
The Indian High Court, while allowing Mr Devananda's plea, had on September 2014 permitted him to participate in the trial proceedings through video conferencing from the office of the Indian High Commissioner in Colombo as and when required.
