A relative of the man acquitted in the Vandiperiyar rape and murder case on January 6 (Saturday) allegedly attacked two members of the child’s family, the Kerala Police said.
The father and the grandfather of the minor girl were attacked allegedly by a relative of Arjun, who was earlier acquitted by a local court, at a place near Vandiperiyar town in Idukki district, they said.
"The incident occurred around 11.30 a.m. It seems like a close relative of Arjun had used a sharp object to attack the father and the grandfather of the deceased child," a police official said.
