Palakkad: After a two-day and two-night search, the police found Chenthamara, the accused in the Nenmara double murder case, by last night. The accused will be produced in court today. Meanwhile, Chenthamara was shifted to the DYSP office due to public anger. He was shifted from Nenmara station to Alathur DYSP office in the morning.
Detailed questioning will be held at the DYSP office. The locals’ protest in front of Nenmara station lasted until midnight. The police repelled the locals by lathi-charge and closing the gate. Meanwhile, the accused told the police that he did not die despite consuming poison yesterday. The accused also says that he did not die despite standing in front of an elephant to die.
He was arrested late last night from the Mattai area in Pothundi, where a joint operation was conducted by the police and locals. After the police withdrew, two policemen were deployed at various places on the roads leading from Pothundi Hill. As soon as Chenthamara, who was hiding, came out, he was caught by the police.
There were two routes from Pothundi Hill. One was to Mangalam Dam and the other to the back of the accused’s house. He was walking along the path to his house. The policemen who were hiding caught him. The goal of making Chenthamara jump out of his hiding place by giving the impression that the police had ended the search and retreated was exactly what was expected. The locals, who were furious, approached the accused who was brought to the station. The police worked hard to control the people.
