The family of the newly married woman from North Paravur who allegedly faced domestic violence at her husband’s house at Pantheerankavu in Kozhikode is seeking legal opinion to move ahead with their request to transfer the case to the Ernakulam Rural police limits where the survivor is currently residing.
Survivor’s father said in Kochi on May 16 (Thursday) that there was no going back on the demand though the station house officer of the Pantheerankavu police station where the case had been registered was suspended from service for alleged lapses in the investigation. The probe has since been reassigned to a fresh team led by an assistant commissioner.
“There are multiple reasons for such a plea. Distance is a factor, the fact that my daughter is now staying here, and also my first experience with the Pantheerankavu police. We will officially move for transferring the case here after consulting our lawyer,” the father said.
