Hostel warden who forced five boys to have unnatural sex arrested

Idukki: A hostel warden from Thodupuzha was arrested for forcing hostel students to have unnatural sex. Rajeev, a native of Karunagappally, was arrested in the case. The arrest was made after boys in the hostel complained about the bad conduct of the hostel warden.

The children first informed the officials of the Scheduled Tribe Department who came to the hostel about the harassment. The department conducted special counseling to confirm the veracity of the complaint. After this was confirmed, the Scheduled Tribe Department officials complained to the Thodupuzha police. According to the complaint, it was alleged that Rajeev used to call five boys to his room when others were not present.

The police took statements from the children in the presence of their parents. Medical examination revealed that the children had been subjected to unnatural torture. The confidential statement of the children was also recorded before the Thodupuzha First Class Judicial Magistrate. Police fear that more victims may get trapped in the web woven by Rajeev. Counseling of all students will be done to confirm this. For this, the complete report related to the case will be sent to the Child Welfare Committee within two days.
