Their bodies were recovered from the Muvattupuzha River days after they went missing on the very day local police had arranged for them to move into a new house. Kothamangalam Station House Officer K R Prasanth Kumar said that the family had approached the police after they were asked to vacate their rented house near Kothamangalam.
“We were trying to bring them back from their situation. At first, we identified a rehabilitation centre run by an NGO. But it was exclusively for women. Then, the police arranged a place on a daily rent. We promised them we would find a permanent house; until then, they were assured of every support.
