KASARGOD: A Muslim league panchayath member was arrested for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy. Muliyar panchayath member S M Muhammhed Kunji (55) was arrested while the police also charged POCSO against him. It was one month back that Adhur police registered a case on this issue.

On April 11, Muhammed Kujni took the boy to a crusher unit near the former's house. The sexual assault took place there. Police have also registered a case against Kunji’s friend Thaiser(29). After learning about the untoward incident, Muslim League dismissed Kunji and stripped him from all memberships hitherto enjoyed in the party.
