The district headquarters of the Ernakulam Rural police in Aluva witnessed an emotional and probably an unprecedented gathering of men in khaki on Thursday.
The 30-member special investigation team (SIT), which turned up at the invitation of District Police Chief (Ernakulam Rural) Vivek Kumar, was associated with the successful investigation into the rape and murder of a five-year-old migrant girl.
Assembling two days after the additional district sessions court for trying atrocities against women and children in Ernakulam awarded capital punishment to the convict, Asafak Alam, on Tuesday, the team could afford to sit back and talk about their hard work that lasted exactly 109 days. The SIT was formed hours after the body was found at an abandoned spot in the Aluva market on July 29.
