A 26-year-old man was arrested after he allegedly raped a 19-year-old college student in Kerala’s Kozhikode.

According to the police, the man, identified as Junaid raped the girl on August 23, and left her in his house.

The girl was rescued by the police after a missing complaint was filed by her parents.

She was found after the police tracked her phone location and rescued her.

The girl, who went missing on May 30, was found at Thamarasseri Churam Road on June 1.
