Mother of 2 arrested for eloping with minor relative, sexually assaulting him: Kerala police

Both were traced to Kollur in Karnataka five days later, following separate missing complaints filed by their families.

Police said the duo had avoided using mobile phones during the period.

They were taken into custody in Kollur, where the woman had rented a house in “an attempt to settle down”, police added.

The woman first came into contact with the boy at a family function, after which the alleged exploitation began.

She reportedly left with him from his village under Kuthiyathodu police jurisdiction after her husband tried to bring her back to their marital home.

The Cherthala police arrested the woman under relevant sections of the POCSO Act, and a court has since remanded her to judicial custody.

The boy has been handed over to his relatives.
