KOZHIKODE: A convict threw sandals at POCSO court judge S.H. Panchapakesan at Kalpetta on Friday after he sentenced the man to 25 years’ jail for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl in 2014. The accused, K. Arumukhan, of Kadassikkunnu near Meppadi, Wayanad, was taken into custody by the policemen soon after a sandal hit the judge, though he tried to avoid it.
The judge was rushed to the government general hospital where he was administered first aid. The police also registered the arrest of Arumukhan who was shifted to Kalpetta police station. The attack comes amidst the allegations being raised by human rights activists working among tribals in Wayanad that there was ‘dual justice' under the POCSO Act.
