The New Indian Express Chennai
|July 19, 2025
THREE special teams, each led by a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), have been formed by the Thiruvallur district police on Friday to arrest the man who allegedly abducted and raped a 10-year-old girl near Gummidipoondi a week ago.
A senior official said the Thiruvallur district superintendent of police (SP) will supervise the investigation.
Sources said the teams have fanned out to areas like Gummidipoondi and Sulurpeta in neighboring Andhra Pradesh, a few kilometers from the interstate border, to search for the suspect, as the police doubt the suspect may have been shuttling between the villages across the border.
