KOLLAM: Ochira Memna native Muhammed Roshen, accused of kidnapping Rajasthani migrant girl, will be brought to Ochira on Thursday. On completion of court procedures, probably by 3pm, Roshen will be brought to Karunagapally court. Three persons arrested earlier were taken in police custody and evidence were collected. Since POCSO act has been invoked against the four accused, the chance for getting bail is little.

The girl will be handed over to Child Line after her statements are recorded under the supervision of a woman SI. The investigation team is of the opinion that the girl has not reached 18 years; this opinion is based on the school certificate handed over to them by her parents. That is why it was decided to retain POSCO clause in the case.

The team will collect more documents from the girl’s school to check the credibility of the birth certificate. The girl had told the police that she was 18 years and she had been in love with Roshen for past several years.

Meanwhile, accused Roshen’s relatives have given a complaint to the police, alleging that the certificate presented by the girl’s parents was fake. And, the parents had hide her Adhaar card that showed the original date of birth.

In the certificate given by the parents, her date of birth is September 17, 2001.
