19 children rescued from institution

KOCHI: The North Paravur Police rescued 19 children, aged between 1 and 16, from an organisation where they were kept without any authorisation.

The search was done at the institution Snehalayam at Paravur and five other related places simultaneously in connection with a complaint lodged by Shemina from Malappuram. She had complained that her child was missing.

The children, 10 boys and 9 girls, were later handed over to the Juvenile Justice Board. During the search, many fake seals of official designations were also recovered. The police arrested V.A. Hakim, a lawyer, Premalatha, director of the institution, and Rathi, warden of the institution, in this connection.
