kk

THRISSUR: Four accused have been arrested in connection with the death of Chirakkal native Sahar (32), a private bus driver who was attacked by moral policing goons. Cherpu natives Arun, Ameer, Niranjan and Suhail, who were absconding after Sahar's death, were nabbed from Uttarakhand by the investigation team. The location of the accused was identified with the help of the cyber cell. The accused will be brought to Thrissur on Saturday.

Sahar was brutally beaten by the accused at midnight on February 18. He died while undergoing treatment in the hospital. Sahar was the driver of a private bus operating service on the Thrissur-Triprayar route. He was dragged from the house of his female friend, the wife of an expat.

The moral policing goons came to question his visit and then attacked him brutally. After the incident, Sahar came home and cried out of pain. Following this, his mother and other relatives rushed him to the hospital. He was put on a ventilator when his condition got worse. He died on March 7.

Meanwhile, the police obtained the footage which showed Sahar being beaten up by the moral policing goons. However, many including Sahar's relatives raised allegations against the police for not arresting the accused. After Sahar's death, the police booked ten people on charges of murder. However, by that time, every accused person had fled into hiding. In the meantime, the investigation team arrested two persons who had helped the accused to go into hiding. The arrest of the four absconding people from Uttarakhand comes after this.

The police had earlier said that Rahul, the main accused in the case, had gone abroad. Efforts are being made to bring him back.
