Edappal: Police have arrested a man at the airport for having an obscene conversation with a seventh class student abroad while posing as a teacher. Abdul Manaf (44), a resident of Pulamantol, Chembalassery was arrested. He was arrested while returning home from abroad. Changaramkulam police said that a case has been registered against him under the Poxo Act.
The tragic incident took place a year ago. He called the student’s house at Changaramkulam station and introduced himself as the teacher of the school where the child was studying. The parent was misled into thinking that the child who was lagging behind in his studies should take a separate class. The boy was then asked to close the room.
The boy then told his mother that he had continued his obscene conversation. It was only when the parents contacted the school that they realized that the teachers were not taking such classes. The school authorities and the child’s parents then lodged a complaint with the Changaramkulam police.
Following the delay in the probe, complaints were lodged with top officials, including the Chief Minister and the state police chief. Following this, on the instructions of Malappuram district police chief S Sujithdas, an investigation was conducted with the help of a cyber dome led by a cyber SI. It was then discovered that the student had been called using an internet call. The accused was also identified. Police also issued a lookout notice against the accused who was abroad.
The accused, who landed in Kozhikode last day, was arrested from the airport by the investigation team led by Changaramkulam CI Basheer Chirakkal. SI Khalid and CPO Bhagyaraj took the accused into custody. The investigation team said that a similar complaint has been received against Manaf by the Palakkad district cyber police.
