Kochi: Enraged by the rapes of two minors in 2017, a mob of people manhandled and thrashed C Madhu (who was the accused in the case) on Saturday, December 7.
Madhu was rushed to a hospital in Palakkad after he was severely injured due to the mob’s thrashing. More details are awaited on his condition.
It can be recalled that in 2017, a case of alleged sexual exploitation of two minor siblings came to light in the Walayar town of Palakkad district.
Unfortunately, both the victims died. One of them is said to have committed suicide while the other sibling was found dead.
The court had released the three people accused in the case as there was not enough evidence to convict them. But the Kerala government had announced that it would launch another probe into the matter.
