A special investigation team (SIT), formed under Deputy Inspector General (North Zone) Thomson Jose and District Police Chief P. Bijoy, has intensified search for the suspect who reportedly abducted a 10-year-old girl from her home at Padanakkad in Kasaragod on May 15 (Wednesday) and robbed of her gold ornaments.
The incident occurred around 3 a.m. The suspect reportedly entered the house through the front door left open by the girl’s grandfather and abandoned her one kilometer away. A medical report later confirmed the child had been sexually assaulted. She is currently undergoing treatment at Kanhangad district hospital.
A 20-member team, led by DySPs Latish, C.K. Sunilkumar and P. Balakrishnan Nair, circle inspector M.P. Azad, sub inspectors Akhil and M.T.P. Saifuddin, and police personnel from the SP squad, conducted a search in the coastal limits of the Hozdurg police station.
