A case stands registered in this connection at Paravoor police station, which has transferred the same to crime branch. The girl, who was sexually exploited by a number of people, has been admitted into a hospital near Ernakulam for treatment relating to health complications she is suffering from. The policemen said that their investigations have brought to light the fact that Sudhir had taken his daughter to various places including Ooty, Coimbatore, Kodaikanal, and Mysore, for handing her over to people involved with sex trade, for earning money.

As the girl’s father always accompanied her, no one had developed any suspicion about the girl.
