PRAVEEN Padmanabha Pillai, brother of the missing Cherthala woman Bindhu Padmanabhan, has alleged that some of the top police officials in Alappuzha district had delayed the investigation into the case filed by him at the Pattanakkad police station in 2017 after his sister's disappearance.

Praveen, who is settled in Italy with his family for more than three decades, told TNIE over phone that the failure of the police officials in charge at the time led to the murders of innocent women, including his sister.
