Saturday, July 30, 2011: An accused in the sensational Paravur sex scandal case in which a minor girl was sexually exploited by many including her own father, by promising her role in films, has surrendered before police on Saturday. The accused has been identified as Jalil hailing from Kodungaloor, police told. The Crime Branch team has arrested as many as 70 persons in connection with the case so far.
The sexual abuse of the 14-year-old girl came to light three months ago after her mother lodged a complaint before the police submitting that her husband had forcibly taken the daughter to prostitution. Based on the submissions made by the girl and the mother, the police registered a case and launched a probe.
Though the police were able to arrest a few persons, including the girl’s father and mother in connection with the case, the government handed over the investigation to Crime Branch after there were allegations that the police were trying to help a few high-profile persons belonging to film industry.
