Kochi: The arrest of Beypur Coastal CI PR Sunu, who was taken into custody by the Thrikakkara police in the gang rape case, was not recorded yesterday. After the interrogation, Sunu was released with a notice to appear before the investigating officers again at 10 this morning. City Police Commissioner CH Nagaraju said that no evidence has been received to arrest him.
A detailed investigation will continue under the leadership of Thrikakkara ACP. No concrete circumstantial evidence has been received against the accused. This is why no arrest was made. The commissioner said that Sunu’s background was not correct and he was taken into custody as soon as the complaint was received to prevent him from escaping. The questioning and investigation in the case is going on. It is the decision of the police that it is enough to make an arrest only on the basis of clear evidence.
At the same time, the police say that there is a contradiction in the second statement given by the complainant, a native of Cheranallur. It has been found that Sunu was not present at the tower location where they were on various days from May to August 2021 when the alleged harassment took place. The police have decided to bring them before the Trikkakara Magistrate and record their secret statements to clarify the contradictions in their statements. A 22-year-old housewife has lodged a complaint with the district police chief that she was raped by a gang that included Sunu. There are 10 accused in the case including Sunu and the maid of the complainant.
Meanwhile, there was criticism in WhatsApp groups of police officers over the manner in which P.R. Sunu, who was accused in the gang rape case, was taken into custody. The question is, why did the police officer on duty enter the station and take him into custody when he could have been summoned secretly with the help of his superiors if he wanted to interrogate him?
Officials are questioning why the officer was not arrested and whether the drama was necessary just for questioning. Meanwhile, top officials say that Sunu’s tainted background was the only reason why they decided to enter the station and arrest him. They also indicate that this is due to the fact that there are many allegations regarding the state police force.
Speaker criticized the police
Kozhikode: Speaker A.N.Shamseer criticized the police at the police association event. The speaker said that not the license to ride horses on the people, but the police cap would also be a star. If those in the group make a mistake, the police do not need to protect them. There are fake currencies in the army – Shamsir said.
