20-Year-Old Woman Assaulted, Found Seriously Injured At Home; Cops Detain 'Boyfriend' In Kochi

The woman had suffered severe injuries, was partially stripped, and had a knot on her neck, raising concerns of a possible strangulation attempt.

Days after a 20-year-old woman was found severely injured after a brutal assault in a semiconscious state at her residence in Chottanikkara, Kochi, the police detained a youth Anoop from Thalayolaparambu, suspected to be the victim’s boyfriend. According to the police, the woman was found in a critical state by her uncle on Sunday evening.

On Wednesday, the police conducted an evidence collection at the survivor's residence. 

On the day of the crime, the woman was found severely injuries with a knot mark on her neck, raising concerns of a possible strangulation attempt, as per a report on The New Indian Express. It is suspected that she had been lying unconscious for hours. She was also found partially stripped. 

 

 

Based on a complaint filed by the survivor’s mother, the police have booked the accused under charges of assault and attempt to murder. Surveillance footage reportedly showed the suspect being dropped off near the victim’s residence on Saturday night. The survivor was adopted as a child by her parents, as reported by Manorama. The victim’s father, a retired military officer, passed away two years ago.

The 20-year-old woman is also a survivor of rape as a minor in 2021.

Meanwhile, the residents in the area identified the suspect from the CCTV footage and linked him to previous disturbances in the neighbourhood. A month ago, locals had filed a mass petition against the youth at the Chottanikkara police station after he repeatedly got into altercations over parking disputes.
