Rajendran, as published in an English daily, that railway stations were out of the jurisdiction of the city police, and he had offered help to the railway police in investigating the murder, a Division Bench of the Madras High Court suo motu summoned the Public Prosecutor and sought a clarification.
The Bench of Justices S. Nagamuthu and V. Bharadhidasan on Monday sought the prosecutor to clarify whether there was any lack of coordination between the city police and the railway police in probing the case.
