Perambavoor (Kerala): Twelve days after the murder of a Dalit law student in Ernakulam district here, police on Monday took her sister in for questioning.

In the past two days, the police probe team had called the victim’s sister’s uncle, with whom she was staying, for questioning.

Police have also been checking her call list after her uncle said she was spending a lot of time talking on the phone.

On Sunday, she said she was being hounded for no reason.

Police, meanwhile, are on the lookout for a migrant labourer known as ‘Bhaya’.

The probe team has ascertained that the murder took place around 5.45 p.m. on April 28, after which the victim’s mutilated body was found by her mother.

Police believe that the 27-year-old woman was sexually assaulted before being killed.

The police have so far questioned over a dozen people.

Meanwhile, the case continues to be a subject of political theatre in Kerala where assembly elections are scheduled on May 16.

State Congress president V.M. Sudheeran was the first high profile visitor on Friday to visit to the victim’s mother at a hospital where she has been admitted following the trauma caused by her daughter’s murder.
