KOCHI: The CBI has arraigned the parents of the girls in the Walayar case. A charge of abetment to rape was imposed. The CBI has filed a charge sheet in six cases.
The high court had ordered further investigation in the case. In this, charge sheets were filed against people including local residents. However, the court had rejected this. The court had then directed that a detailed investigation be conducted. The parents were arraigned in the subsequent investigation.

Reports said the parents were aware that their daughters were sexually abused and that is why the charge of abetment to rape was imposed. The parents kept silent after knowing about the incident. The charge sheet also said that they did not inform the police on time. The parents were made witnesses in the report submitted earlier.

Meantime, the mother of the girls responded that stories are being fabricated and that the investigating officers did not meet them. There was a bid to sabotage the case. The legal battle will continue. We will not give in to threats. Innocents are being made accused. The government and the CBI are colluding here. They must have thought that will not respond. While talking to a media, she said that if the investigation is done properly, the case could have been be proved.

Former protest committee leader Balamurali responded that the parents are the accused. The parents' legal battle is a drama. He also alleged that the stepfather, who saw the child being abused, did not inform the police.
