KANNUR: A teacher and a 22-year-old student of an institution, imparting religious education in the Panur area in the district, have been arrested in a POCSO case for allegedly molesting three minor boys, who went there for religious studies.
An officer of Panur police station said the student was arrested and remanded to jail on Saturday and the teacher was caught and sent to jail on Monday by a sub-court in Thalassery. Both of them had gone into hiding after a complaint was lodged with the police by the victims' parents last week and an FIR was registered.
