Abhiram murder case: three arrested, fourth person taken into custody as police unravel circumstances behind crime
The 17-year-old prime accused was produced before the Juvenile Justice Board and placed in an Observation Home until November 10, subject to further orders
The Thiruvananthapuram City police have made significant progress in the Abhiram murder case, arresting four individuals and uncovering evidence that suggests the crime was part of a premeditated plan. The original target was reportedly a friend of Abhiram, with whom the accused had a romantic interest. When Abhiram refused to bring the friend to the meeting location, an argument ensued, resulting in his brutal murder.
The prime accused, a 17-year-old, has been placed in an Observation Home until further orders. The police have also taken into custody a third accused and a fourth individual, Aishwarya, for questioning. A Special Investigation Team has been constituted to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the case, which may now include Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, relating to murder.
