Paravur sex scandal case; three more held

Tuesday, August 2, 2011: The police have arrested three more person in connection with the sensational Paravur sex scandal case in which a minor girl was sexually exploited by many including her own father after promising her role in films.
The accused have been identified as Bijith, Ismail and Kuttan, police told. In her complaint to the police in June, the girl had said her father, who used to do small roles in Malayalam films, was the first to rape her. He then took her to various places and ‘offered’ her to at least 100 men.

The sexual abuse of the 14-year-old girl came to light three months ago after her mother lodged a complaint before the police submitting that her husband had forcibly taken the daughter to prostitution. Based on the submissions made by the girl and the mother, the police registered a case and launched a probe.
Though the police were able to arrest a few persons, including the girl’s father and mother in connection with the case, the government handed over the investigation to Crime Branch after there were allegations that the police were trying to help a few high-profile persons belonging to film industry.
