Woman alleges being confined to apartment for a month
The Central police have issued a lookout notice and a circular against a man accused of raping a woman at an apartment in the city for nearly a month earlier this year. The accused, Martin Joseph, 27, hailing from Thrissur and settled in the city, remains absconding. While the lookout circular is aimed at stopping him from fleeing the State through airports, the notice advertises him as an accused in the case. The police said that the accused and the victim had been in a live-in relation for over a year before the former allegedly turned abusive in February this year. The victim hailing from Kannur and settled in Ernakulam as part of work, managed to flee the rented apartment when the accused had gone to fetch food one day.More Related News
