Three persons, including a couple and their daughter, were taken into custody on Friday by the Kollam police in connection with the Oyoor child abduction case.
Chathannur residents Padmakumar, his wife, and daughter were nabbed from Puliyara near the Kerala-Tamil Nadu boarder and the vehicle they were travelling too was seized.
Reportedly, financial deals with the six-year-old’s father led to the abduction and Padmakumar executed the crime with the help of a quotation gang. A businessman, Padmakumar also owns a farmhouse at Chirakkara and the child was taken to that house on the night of abduction. According to neighbours, the family was not sociable and always kept to themselves.
