Police in Kerala’s Malppuram district have filed a complaint against a 15-year-old boy for attempting to rape a 21-year-old lady. The incident occurred on a Monday afternoon when the accused pursued a woman who was on her way to computer courses.
The accused then carried her to a plantation area beside the road, where he knew the martial art of Judo. After attempting to bind her hands with a dupatta, the youngster beat her with a stone and attempted to suffocate her, according to Malappuram District Police Chief Sujith Das S.
“It was a sparsely populated area owing to which there was no one around at that time”, the police official said.
The woman resisted and managed to escape to a nearby house, the official added.
The police booked the accused on Tuesday morning and presented the teenager before a Juvenile Justice Board yesterday. He has been sent to a juvenile home for further medical procedures, according to the police.
“We have spoken to the survivor in detail and the survivor described the attacker. Based on our surveillance and network inputs we decided to question him,” police said adding that the accused is not an acquaintance of the survivor.
Further probe is underway but completion will take some time as the survivor has been given time to recover from the shocking incident, police further said.
