In a murderous twist to the ongoing feuds between gangs involved in gold smuggling and robbery, an expatriate man hailing from Attappady was abducted on his return from Saudi Arabia and killed after five days of torturing.
Abdul Jaleel, 42, who arrived at Cochin International Airport at Nedumbassery from Jeddah on May 15, was found seriously injured by the roadside at Akkaparamba, near Perinthalmanna, on Thursday.
He died at Moulana Hospital, Perinthalmanna, in the early hours of Friday.
