A police team from Pala has apprehended a 43-year-old man from Sharjah who allegedly raped a mentally challenged girl in 2008.
The accused, identified as Yahya Khan, a native of Vizhinjam in Thiruvananthapuram, was taken into custody with the assistance of Interpol.
According to the police, the accused used to sell pots door-to-door and visited a house in Pala for sales. After knowing that the girl with a mental disability was alone in the house, he raped her. Although the Pala police had initially detained him, he managed to flee after securing bail from the court.
