Web Desk(TVM)Updated: Monday Feb 14, 2022


Kochi : Police have obtained strong  evidences against No. 18 Hotel owner Roy Valayat and Kozhikode woman Anjali, said DCP P.U. Kuriakose on Monday.  There has been found another evidence too, although no additional complaint has been put up yet.  The allegation raised by the  Anjali against the complainant is not true,  the ACP added.

Evidences include items collected from the hotel including CCTV footages that were forensically examined to unravel activities there.

Regarding Roy not appearing before officials in context of the models’ car crash deaths, it will be checked if he is  afflicted with Covid as claimed,  the ACP told reporters.

The POCSO case revolves around  complaint  lodged by a minor girl and her mother, both of who are  Kozhikode natives. They were sexually molested and visuals captured on mobile, they said in the complaint. Anjali threatened to disseminate the visuals on social media, if they ever spoke to police on what happened at the  hotel, said the victims further.

The sexual assault reportedly took place a couple of months before the fatal car crash incident that killed Miss Kerala 2019, Ansi Kabeer and runner-up Anjana.

Incidentally,  the families of Ansi and Anjana  are demanding CBI investigation into the accident. Though satisfied with state investigations in the case, they are seeking central agency probe following police findings on sexual abuse of girls at the hotel.

Meanwhile, the accused Kozhikode native Anjali took to Facebook saying all allegations against her were false and that the complaint was motivated by differences over money.
