Why it matters
This case highlights extreme instances of criminal intimidation and the lengths to which perpetrators may go to force personal agendas.
The Thiruvananthapuram Rural police on Tuesday arrested four persons for the alleged abduction and assault of a father and son in Kilimanoor a few days ago. The Kilimanoor police arrested Sudheesh, Aromal, Lal Krishna and Arun in connection with the case. The gang purportedly executed the crime after the complainants refused a marriage proposal by the prime accused, Sudheesh.
The youths reportedly surrendered before the Chithara police in Kollam while the police had launched a massive search for the gang. They were subsequently handed over to the Kilimanoor police for further investigation. According to the police, Sudheeesh wished to marry the daughter of Attingal native Anil Kumar. However, the proposal was rejected, prompting the accused to hatch an elaborate plot with the help of his associates. The group allegedly abducted Anil Kumar and his son Achu, assaulted them, and intended to force the family into accepting the marriage.
