The special team that was probing the murder of Manasa, a dental student, at Kothamangalam by Rakhil of Thalassery, submitted a 200-page charge-sheet in the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Kothamangalam.
Rakhil, who took his own life soon after shooting Manasa to death, is the prime accused, while Kannur native Adityan and Bihar natives Sonu Kumar and Manish Kumar Verma have been arrayed as the first, second and third accused, on the charge of abetting the murder. The three accused are now in judicial custody.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
