KOCHI: The investigating team has sought the help of the Interpol to find Vijay Babu, actor and producer, who is on the run in a rape case. Kochi City Police Commissioner C H Nagaraju said they hope the accused would be held within three days.

A decision has been taken to find his hideout after issuing a blue corner notice with the help of the Interpol. If a blue corner notice is issued; the police there will be able to trace the exact location of the accused if he is in any foreign country. The probe team had approached the home ministry for this.

The police had sent an e-mail to Vijay Babu asking him to surrender on Monday, but he said he would appear on May 19th . This was rejected by the investigation team. The police are of the stand that the accused can no longer be allowed time.
