The Chottanikkara police have filed the chargesheet in the case related to the assault and death of a 19-year-old woman at her house in January.

Anoop, 25, of Thalayolaparambu, has been named the sole accused in the chargesheet. He has been charged for culpable homicide not amounting to murder and attempted rape of the woman.

A hammer that was allegedly used to assault the woman and a shawl on which she reportedly hung herself following the alleged assault have been mentioned as crucial pieces of evidence. The probe team had also recovered CCTV footage of the accused arriving at her house, where he was said to have assaulted her. Anoop had reportedly befriended the victim through Instagram.
