NEMOM: A youth who kidnapped a minor girl from Kottayam’s Thalayolaparambu for a friend, got into a fight with him on the street. Dhanush (19), a resident of Rasalpuram, and Vijith (24), a resident of Thembamuttom, were the youths. Dhanush met the girl, who is a class 9 student, through social media. The two were talking through Vijith's phone.

Vijith brought the girl on a bike from Kottayam on Sunday morning. Then the plan was to take her to Mudavoorpara and hand her over to Dhanush. But Dhanush changed his stand when Vijith arrived with the girl. Dhanush told Vijith that ‘He don’t want her anymore and Vijith can have her’. Then the two clashed on the street. The locals noticed the incident and informed the police. The incident came to light when the police arrived and interrogated the three. The Naruvamudu police have informed the girl's family. A case will be registered after recording their statements.
