According to police sources, the girl went missing from her home on Wednesday. Soon after receiving the complaint, her tower location was tracked with the support of the cyber cell. The rescue team managed to identify the spot in six hours and freed the girl who was found naked and tied inside the room.
In the search carried out at the location, the police recovered packets of narcotic drugs including MDMA. The girl was admitted to the Kozhikode Medical College Hospital later. Police sources said medical reports were required to confirm sexual assault. They also said the condition of the girl was stable.
Based on the statement given by the survivor, the police have intensified search for a local drug pusher suspected of having direct involvement in the incident.
