KOLLAM: A couple was arrested in Kollam in connection with the suicide of a class 10 student. Geethu and her husband Suresh, natives of Kunnathur Kollam, were arrested. The Kollam Sessions Court had rejected the anticipatory bail plea of ​​the accused. The couple were on the run but police caught them on Sunday from Alappuzha. Following a tip-off, a team led by SHO KB Manoj Kumar nabbed the accused.

Adikrishnan (15), son of the Gopu-Ranjini couple of Gopi Vilas, Kunnathur West died the other day. He was a 10th-standard student of Vgss Ambikodayam Higher Secondary School Nediyavila. On the afternoon of December 1, Adikrishnan was found hanging from the window of his house. At the time of the incident, only Adikrishnan's differently-abled brother was at home.

It is alleged that the arrested couple visited the house and roughed up Adikrishnan for sending messages to their daughter through social media. The beatings were so severe that blood oozed out from the child’s ears. The parents were about to complain to the Child Welfare Commission when the tenth-standard boy hanged himself to death.

Based on the complaint of Adikrishnan's family, the police registered a case, but no further action was taken. Allegations were raised that the police were waiting for the accused to get anticipatory bail. The issue soon became controversial, forcing the police to arrest the couple.
