2. The petitioner is the de facto complainant in Crime
No.11/2025 of Cyber Crime Police Station, Alappuzha. The
above case is registered alleging offences punishable under
Sections 318(4) and 319(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita
(BNS) and Section 66D of the Information Technology Act.
Ext.P1 is the First Information Report and Ext.P2 is the First
Information Statement. The grievance of the petitioner is that
the investigation in the above crime is not going in the proper
manner and some of the recording devices are not seized. It is
also the case of the petitioner that some more accused are
involved in the case.
3. The learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the
investigation is now conducted by the 4 th respondent who is the
Station House Officer of the Cyber Crime Police Station,
Alappuzha. The investigation is going smoothly and four
accused persons were already arrested, is the submission.

4. This Court considered the contentions of the petitioner
and the learned Public Prosecutor. After hearing both sides and
also going through the pleadings in the writ petition with
exhibits, I think there can be a direction to the 3 rd respondent to
supervise the investigation conducted by the 4 th respondent.
Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of directing the
3rd respondent to supervise the investigation in Crime No.11/
2025 of the Cyber Crime Police Station, Alappuzha and the 4 th
respondent will see that the investigation is completed and the
final report is submitted before the jurisdictional court as
expeditiously as possible.
