Police obtained a statement from approver Venkatachalam by torture and
submitted the same in the court. But Venkatachalam explained the same before the
judge. Leader George Joseph , brother of the famous Newspaper Editor Pothan
Jospeh argued for Kamaraj and Muthusami and won the case. The magistrate J.P.S.
Manro who presided acquitted Kamaraj and others from this case stating
that the evidences filed by the police were not satisfactory. At that time
Gandhiji was touring Tamilnadu and stayed at Rajapalayam in the house of
Kumarasami Raja and asked Dr.T.S.S.Rajan to conduct the case vigorously.
Rajan too helped very much for the victory
of the case When the case was filed police went to the house of Kamaraj
for search. Kamaraj was not there. His mother did not allow the police to enter
into the house. When there no male member. Only after a male relative was called
in she allowed them. Police could not get anything.
The trial went on few months .Had the
judgment was on the other side. Nation would have lost the last heir of Gandhiji.
