3 held for sexually abusing minor boy

Three people have been arrested on the charge of sexually abusing a minor boy, police said here on Monday.

The incident came to light when the parents noticed some changes in their son. He was then taken to a doctor who detected that the boy was subjected to unnatural sexual abuse.

The matter was reported to the police which arrested the accused under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO Act).

A Magistrate Court in Tirur today remanded the accused to judicial custody, the police added.
