Mangaluru, May 7: City police have rescued a woman, who is a native of Kerala state, from her illegal house arrest from the city. Reportedly she was in illegal confinement in a BJP leader's home located within the limits of Barke police station here.

Reportedly the lady, living in Thrissur, Kerala, had fallen in love with a youth there. Her mother, who was not agreeable for this alliance, had brought her daughter to the city and left her in the care of a BJP leader here. The lady allegedly remained under house arrest thereafter. About a month ago, she created a video clip in which she said she was under house arrest in the residence of a BJP leader here since the last two years. She had uploaded this clip to social website. The police who came to know about the clip conducted investigation and rescued her from a rented house five days back. She was thereafter accommodated in the women's rehabilitation centre here.

In the said video, the woman stated that her family has been spreading the information that she was working in the city, whereas in fact she was kept under house arrest. "This house belongs to a BJP leader. I am mentally drained," she claimed.

The lady said that she was provided psychiatric treatment at a hospital at Thrissur after which she was admitted into an Ashram run by Sangh Parivar activists there. From there, she claims, she was shifted to the city.

The police officials say that the lady needs treatment and therefore she has been admitted into the rehabilitation centre. They added that suitable steps would be initiated after investigating the incident in its entirety.
