Police on lookout for suspect who has gone into hiding
The Chirayinkeezh Police on Wednesday registered a case under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SC/ST)(Prevention of Atrocities) Act against a man belonging to a forward Christian community who had allegedly assaulted his sister's husband belonging to a Scheduled Caste community. The accused has been identified as Danish George, a doctor. The police are the lookout for the suspect who has gone into hiding.
According to the police, Midhun (26), who works at an Akshaya centre in Kadakkavoor had eloped with Deepthi George (24) on October 29. Her family had filed a person missing complaint on the same day. The couple appeared at the Chirayinkeezh police station on the day. She said that she would prefer to live with Midhun, to whom she had got married, rather than go back to the family.
The next day, Deepthi's family invited them to the local Church for conciliatory talks. Later, they visited Deepthi's house, where a scuffle broke out when Midhun was not allowed inside, the police said.
