The police have intensified search for V R Sathyavan, a noted social activist and a native of Konoor. The case is for assaulting Vaishnavi of Perumbavoor and wife of Mukesh of Moozhikkulam House. Her parents had lodged a complaint with the police asserting that Mukesh’s mother Kumari and her husband’s brother regularly assault their daughter. The Perumbavoor police had registered a case against Kumari earlier following the complaint. Her brother-in-law Vjayan was arrested.

Vaishnavi had alleged that she was brutally assaulted for opposing her mother-in-law’s illicit relationship. The police had also registered a case on Kumari’s complaint that Vishnavi’s parents had assaulted her.

In the meanwhile, the Facebook post of Mukesh’s brother Sudheesh Mohan has sparked a controversy. He alleged that Mukesh, who was arrested in a visa fraud case, had married secretly and in order to avoid this pregnant woman became close with another woman. He also said that his brother would quite often attack his widowed mother. Mukesh and his wife always attack her for property. A complaint was lodged against Sathyavan for intervening to solve the issue, Sudheesh mentioned in the post.
