Woman accused of abuse seeks action against cops

Thiruvananthapuram: The woman who was wrongly accused of sexually abusing her own son, said on Thursday that there must be a proper investigation against the sub inspector and other officers of Kadakkavoor police station, who were involved in her arrest. She was speaking to media persons after turning up at the district court at Vanchiyoor to collect the copy of the high level police inquiry report that absolved her of the charges against her.
The woman said the SI who took her into custody was a friend of her estranged husband. He made an offer to her to drop the case provided she agreed to grant the custody of the children to her estranged husband.
She said that though the police have dropped the case, the report absolving her has no mention about who influenced her minor son to raise such allegations against her. As per the report, her son has not retracted his statements given earlier. There has to be a probe conducted to find out the person who encouraged the child to give such statements, she said.
She added that her petition seeking custody of her children is pending before the family court. She had also filed a petition before the chief minister demanding that appropriate action be taken against those involved in the conspiracy which threw her life off the rail.
It was in December that the Kadakkavoor police arrested the 35-year-old woman, based on the complaint given by her husband, who is an NRI. She was sent under judicial custody following the arrest. However, the police department initiated a high level-probe under the directions of the high court after she approached the court with a petition seeking to bring out the truth.
The probe concluded that there was no medical or circumstantial evidence to support the child’s allegations.
