PALAKKAD: A POCSO case victim, who was abducted by the accused and his relatives ahead of the trial, has not been found. The girl was molested by her uncle. A special investigation team has been appointed for the probe.

The 11-year-old girl had been staying with her grandmother. The child had earlier informed that her parents supported the accused and hence she was not interested in living with them.

The accused and the gang, who arrived at the grandmother’s house, took the girl by force. They had arrived in a car and a bike. The car’s number plate was covered with a cloth. The bike had a fake number plate, said the police.

The visuals of kidnapping the child had surfaced last day. Police said that the girl could be with her parents. However, their phones have been switched off.
