A special police investigation team has been constituted with the support of the District Anti-Narcotics Special Action Force (DANSAF) to nab the absconding members involved in drugging and raping a 14-year-old girl in the district.
District Police Chief Sujith Das S. said the police were using all their resources to pin those involved in the crime. Two of them were arrested and five others were at large. “We hope to nab them all in a day or two,” said Mr. Das.
He said the police were dealing with the case with utmost seriousness and importance, especially as Malappuram was ahead of other districts in the number of POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act) cases.
