The police arrested a farmer, Suresh, 44, in connection with the death of two havildars of the Kerala Armed Police (KAP) Second Battalion camp at Muttikkulangara, near here, on Thursday.
The policemen, Ashok Kumar, 35, from Elavanchery, and M. Mohandas, 36, from Athipotta, were electrocuted from a live cable illegally set up by Suresh to trap wild boars at his farmland behind the KAP camp.
Although the police had picked up a few persons on Thursday, they were released after Suresh admitted the crime. He was arrested on Friday under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Section 304 for causing death by negligence and Section 204 for destruction of evidence.
