Thrissur: The inquiry into the case registered by Chalakudy Police on the complaint of a teenage girl being trapped by a six racket active in Thrissur and Malappuram districts has revealed that the victim was tortured for nearly six months and around 30 persons are involved in the crime.
According to Chalakudy DySP C. R. Santosh, the 19-year-old victim was first contacted online in January this year by the main accused Chirayath Chandramohan of Vadanappally.
