The police are likely to record the arrest of Afan, the accused in the Venjaramoodu massacre in Thiruvananthapuram today. The decision has been made to record Afan’s arrest at the medical college as soon as the doctors’ permission is received. The magistrate will then be taken to the hospital and remanded and will remain in the hospital. The police will also record the statement of Afan’s mother, who is undergoing treatment at the hospital, today.
Affan had also pawned his girlfriend Farzana’s necklace. In return, he was given a necklace. The police also stated that Farzana had recently asked to take this necklace and return it. The police are trying to find out how much debt Affan has. As part of this, the police will collect information from those who have given loans to the family. The mobile phones of Affan and Shami have been sent for forensic examination. A letter has also been sent to the cyber police to check Affan’s Google search history.
The police believe that the financial crisis led to the mass murder. The police confirmed during the investigation that the family was in debt. In addition to his father’s foreign liabilities, Afan’s statement to the police said that the family had a debt of Rs 65 lakh. He has to pay huge amounts to 12 people. The amounts collected from the chit fund have also not been repaid.
He survived by borrowing money and giving it back and forth. When he learned that he was in a serious financial crisis, many people stopped paying. He had no money even for the treatment of Afan’s mother, Shemi, who was suffering from cancer. Following this, he even considered committing mass suicide. The police found that Afan used the money he got by pawning the necklace he had taken from his grandmother to pay off the debt of forty thousand rupees. The police have also received information that Afan’s mother, Shemi, has a debt of 65 lakh rupees.
