high-court

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The woman remanded for sexually abusing her 14-year-old son is likely to approach the Kerala High Court seeking bail. The Thiruvananthapuram POCSO court had denied bail to her yesterday.

Meantime, the Kadakkavoor police will hand over the documents including the case diary to IG Harshita Attaluri. IG's preliminary report will be submitted soon. The IG will mainly probe whether the complaint against the woman is fabricated.

The incident came to light after the child's father lodged a complaint with Childline. Her relatives alleged that her husband has been estranged from her for three years and has been living with another woman without divorcing her. A POCSO case was registered against her after she approached the court seeking alimony. The victim’s younger brother testified in favour of his mother but his elder brother is firm in the complaint against his mother.
