The other accused — Kattath Bail Vijayen (42), Kuntaru K Kumaran (51), and Athnadiy Dilip Kumar (41) — were acquitted by the court.

Balan was murdered on the night of March 27, 2008, when the accused stopped his car near the Kuntaru bus stand, where he was dragged out and killed.

While the initial police investigation remained stalled, protests from Balan's family led to the case being transferred to the Crime Branch.
