The Thiruvananthapuram Rural police altered what was initially considered an instance of accidental death of a 15-year old boy in Poovachal to a murder case on Sunday after gathering credible proof of the alleged crime.
Kattakada Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) N. Shibu told mediapersons that the death of 15-year-old Adisekhar, son of Poovachal natives Arun Kumar and Deepa, on August 30 is being treated as a murder case by invoking Section 308 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Adisekhar was allegedly mowed down by a car driven by Priyaranjan of Poovachal, near Pulinkode. The absconding accused is yet to be apprehended.
