Pulsar SuniKochi: Pulsar Suni and V.P. Vijeesh, two key accused in the abduction and assault of a noted Malayalam actress, have been sent to judicial custody for 14 days.
The accused, who were arrested by the police from a court premises here on Thursday, were produced before the Aluva magistrate on Friday. The duo will remain in judicial custody till March 10.
The police have sought the accused in their custody for 10 days for detailed interrogation. The court will consider the cops' plea for this on Saturday.
Police sought the custody of the duo after conflicting details emerged from their initial quizzing on the matter. The accused were shifted to Kakkanad sub jail. When reporters asked Suni if he was trapped by someone in the case, Suni gave a firm 'no' in reply.
Meanwhile, police took the accused through the route they had traveled with the actress in a car after abducting her.
On information provided by the accused, police also conducted searches for the mobile phone they allegedly used to click photographs of the actress in the car.
Police carried out searches in a drainage after they were informed by the two that they had dumped the phone in it. However, nothing could be traced, the cops said.
Suni and Vijeesh were arrested on Thursday as they entered a local court complex to surrender, six days after the incident which caused nationwide outrage.
The court premises witnessed high drama as police forcefully took into custody the duo who entered the building wearing a helmet.
The actress was abducted and harassed inside a moving car for two hours by the accused, who had forced their way into the vehicle on the night of February 17 and later escaped in a busy area in Kochi.
