A 23-year-old man was arrested by Parippally police in Kollam district of Kerala on the charges of sexually assaulting a school-going girl, stated a report in The New Indian Express. 

Following a formal complaint which was filed with the police by the school girl, the accused, identified as Amal, was taken into custody.

Upon receiving the complaint of the survivor, the police launched an investigation. Inspector Deepu and his team apprehended the accused. 

Amal has been charged under IPC Provision 376 (rape). After a medical examination of the accused, he was produced before the court and remanded in judicial custody.
