Three people, including a 17-year-old, were arrested by the Kasaragod Town police for allegedly barging into a lodge room, assaulting a young man and his female friend, and robbing the woman of her gold ornaments and the man of ₹10,000.

According to the police, the accused assaulted K.A. Mohammed Udaif, 22, of Rajapuram, without any provocation and robbed the woman of her gold earrings. They also allegedly seized Udaif’s ATM card, coerced him to reveal the PIN, and withdrew ₹10,000 from his bank account using the card.

The arrests followed a complaint lodged by Udaif.

The arrested are Sabith, 30, of Madhur, Ameer Ali, 30, of Chengala, and a 17-year-old boy.

Since one of the accused is a minor, the police said further legal proceedings would be initiated in accordance with the Juvenile Justice Act.
