Mumbai: A division bench of the Bombay high court has ordered Kerala CPM secretary Kodiyeri Balakrishnan’s son Binoy Vinodini Balakrishnan, accused in bar dancer rape case to give his blood samples on July 30. The high court has directed the accused to submit the test results at the court in two weeks in a sealed envelope.

On July 8, Binoy had agreed to sampling of his blood for DNA testing. But he failed to provide blood samples for the DNA test claiming that he was sick and requested the sampling of the blood for DNA testing be postponed. Second time, Binoy had been reluctant to undergo the test, on the argument that the high court was yet to pronounce judgment on his plea to cancel the FIR.
