Overview

  • The CBI Court in Vijayawada accepted the CBI’s final report and formally closed the nearly 19-year-old case, finding no grounds to proceed.
  • The court directed the CBI to hand over Ayesha Meera’s remains to her family for last rites in Tenali on February 27.
  • Government authorities were instructed to provide facilities and security and to have officials video record the entire ceremony.
  • The victim’s parents recorded their dissatisfaction and inability to pursue further legal action, and they plan to ask Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu to order a judicial inquiry by a sitting High Court judge.
  • The closure follows a prolonged trajectory that saw a 2010 conviction overturned by the High Court in 2017 and a CBI probe launched in 2018, with forensic opinions taken from Gandhi Hospital in Hyderabad.
