The police have so far quizzed the prime accused KV Sayan, estate manager Natraj, and policemen who were on duty at the check posts when the accused escaped after committing the offence. Now, the police teams have taken up the task to quiz more witnesses, besides estate workers and other suspects.

Both, on bail, are being interrogated, the police said.
