KOZHIKODE: Two policemen were suspended in connection with the incident of a youth trying to sexually abuse the girls of children’s home in Vellimadukunnu and for escaping from the police station. The action was taken against ASI Saji and CPO Dileesh.
The suspension was issued on the basis of a special branch report that suggested the lack of vigilance of the police. The girls went missing from the children’s home last Wednesday. Following an investigation, four girls were found from Malappuram and two from Bengaluru.
There were two youths with the girls in Bengaluru. They were arrested on the statement that they tried to rape the girls after making them consume alcohol. One of the accused, a Thrissur Kodungallur native, Febin Rafi of Peradi house, had escaped from the station. He was caught later.
