Paravur case: Four more to be included in accused list

Monday, December 05, 2011: Four more persons will be included in the accused list in sensational Paravur sex scandal case, in which a 14-year-old girl was allegedly raped by at least 100 odd men over a period of time, was filed against the father of the victim.
The four are from film industry, sources said. These persons were earlier omitted from the accused list due to some outside intervention. Meanwhile the police crime branch, investigating the case, filed charge sheet against first accused Sudheer, in the Parur First Class Magistrate Court.
Cases under section 376 (Rape) of IPC, section 25 of the Juvenile Justice Act and Immoral Traffic Prevention Act have been registered against Sudheer. Ninety-four accused have been arrested in the case so far, of whom one died recently.
The case came to light in June last after the girl from Paravoor complained to her aunt about her plight and she lodged a police complaint.
In her complaint, the girl had said her father, who used to do small roles in Malayalam films, was the first to rape her. He then took her to various places and ‘offered’ her to at least 100 men.
Businessmen, a retired Naval official and a PWD contractor from Tamil Nadu are among the accused in the case.
