Kerala sex racket case: Two policemen arrested

The two policemen who have been arraigned in the Malapparamba sex racket case, were arrested on Tuesday from a house at Thamarassery in Kozhikode, Kerala.

Shaijith and Sanith, both drivers in the police force, were arraigned along with 10 others, including six women, in the case in which a suspected sex racket was busted in a rented facility at Malapparamba earlier this month. They were absconding and could not be traced for days despite flash inspections by the police with the help of the Cyber cell.

Sanith had evaded the police during the raid at the residence of a political leader on Monday. The police arrested the duo based on the information provided by the leader. They are being questioned now.

Shaijith and Sanith were suspended by the District Police Chief (Kozhikode City) a few days ago based on an internal inquiry and digital evidence.

The chargesheet submitted by the Nadakkavu police states that the two were closely associated with a woman who is suspected to be a major link in the racket and that they used to supply clients to her.
