KOZHIKODE: An accused in a POCSO case was found hanging in the victim's house. 57-year-old retired sub-inspector was found hanging in the car porch of the victim's house in Kozhikode, early Tuesday morning. The police reached the spot and conducted an investigation.

The incident related to the POCSO case took place in 2021. The case is that he kidnapped and sexually abused his neighbour’s eight-year-old daughter. He had earlier alleged that the case was fabricated. The accused committed suicide while he was on bail. Though prima facie it appears to be a case of suicide, the police have registered a case of unnatural death and started a probe.
