Kannur: Child Welfare Committee (CWC) Kannur District Chairman Dr. E.D. Joseph was removed from office. The action of the Department of Child Welfare and Social Justice comes in the wake of the registration of the Poxo case against Joseph. Thalassery police have registered a case against the complainant for speaking in an obscene language to a minor girl. But he denied the allegations.
The girl who was the victim of a torture case in the Kudiyanmala police area had a bad experience from the chairman.
The girl said that while giving a statement under section 164 before the Mattannur magistrate, the chairman misbehaved during counseling. The Mattannur magistrate had ordered the Kudiyanmala police to investigate the incident after the girl complained about the incident. The magistrate ordered the woman to be sent to the police station.
Kudiyanmala police took a statement from the girl who was staying in a government controlled center. The FIR was handed over to the Thalassery police after the Kudiyanmala police registered a case as the counseling was done at the Eranjoli aftercare home in the Thalassery police limits.
