Kozhikode: The second accused in the infamous Koodathayi case MS Mathew filed a petition in a court in Kozhikode against Netflix and some other online media for disseminating 'false' information in connection with the case. Even though the court trial was still in progress, Mathew attempted to move against the Netflix docuseries "Curry & Cyanide: The Jolly Joseph Case," claiming that it was disseminating misleading information.

The petition will be considered on January 29 by the Special Additional Sessions Court. The court will also take into consideration the bail plea that Jolly Joseph, the primary accused, and other parties filed concerning the serial murder case on the same day.
