KOTTAYAM: In a shocking incident, a woman was arrested for letting her lover and his male friend take her 13-year-old daughter with them and sexually abuse her, in Aranmula in Pathanamthitta district on Friday.
According to police, the girl from the woman’s first marriage is in Class IX. The girl was staying with the mother and her second husband.
The woman had an affair with another youth, suspected to be a tipper lorry driver, from Haripad. This person visited the girl’s house often. Last week, the mother agreed to her lover’s demand of taking the girl to his place along with another friend. The two men picked up the girl on a two-wheeler near the house and later continued the journey in a bus. They changed buses before reaching a house where she was abused.
Meanwhile, the woman’s second husband filed a complaint with Aranmula police about the missing girl. The next day, the girl was dropped back home by the mother’s lover. The abuse was revealed when the police spoke with the girl. Since the men changed buses on their way, the girl is not sure about the location of the house where she was abused. Police suspect that the lover has given a fake identity to the woman. Police have begun a search for the two men.
