The Action Council filed another Writ petition in the Kerala High Court asking the court to remove Mr. V. Thyagarajan from Cochin Unit of the CBI as well as from the investigation of Abhaya's death. Further on 3.6.1994 all the MPs from Kerala State jointly submitted a passionate petition to K. Vijaya Rama Rao, the Director of the CBI requesting him to disallow Mr. Thyagarajan to continue in the Abhaya's murder case. As a result Mr. M.L. Sharma, the Joint Director of the CBI, was given charge of the investigation into Abhaya's death.
The role of Mr. V. Thyagarajan in the distortion of Abhaya's case was apparent in the High Court when Mr. Varghese P. Thomas produced an original copy of a report sent by Mr. V. Thyagarajan to the Joint Director of the CBI suggesting that further investigation into the death of Sr. Abhaya should be dropped, despite the death being recorded in the CBI Diary as MURDER by Varghese P.Thomas after due consideration of the material facts of the case. As a result, Mr. Thyagarajan was transferred to Chennai Unit of CBI.
On the 7.4.1995, using a full-sized dummy of Sr. Abhaya, the CBI made some experimental tests in the well where her corpse was found. By that time, on 17.4.1995 Dr. S.K. Patak, the chief of the Forensic Department of Saiman Singh Medical college, Jaipur and Dr. Mahesh Varma, former chairperson of Anatomy Section submitted their formal expert report to the CBI investigation team to the effect that Sr. Abhaya's death was clearly MURD
