The police have already arrested five people – Dhanush, Dinesh, Poornaksha B, Suraj, and Ranjith Bhandari – in connection with the assault on Shaik Mukthar. The Uppinangady police registered the case based on the girl’s mother’s complaint, and an investigation is underway. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of children in the region. The police are investigating the matter and are working to ensure the girl’s safe return. The case is being closely monitored by the authorities, and further details are awaited.
