PALAKKAD: The police have found the girl who was abducted by the accused in the POCSO case before the start of the trial. The special investigation team found the girl with her parents from Guruvayur. 11-year old girl was abducted by the accused, who is her uncle and his gang on Sunday evening.
The girl was abducted when the trial was about to begin on July 16. The grandmother had said that the child's mother knew about the abduction. On seeing the mother and the accused, the child ran and hid in the room. 'The child's mother and those accompanied her had beaten me and my hand was injured while trying to stop them.', said the grandmother.
The police concluded that the child was abducted to change her statement in favor of the accused. The number plate of the car in which the accused came was hidden. The police also investigated about people who came on bikes to help the accused, but their number plates were fake. The investigation was centered on CCTV footage.
As the child did not want to live with her parents, the court entrusted the custody of the girl to her grandmother. Therefore, the police suspected that the parents might be behind the abduction of the child. The fact that both their phones were switched off since the girl went missing strengthened the police's suspicion.
