The police have registered a case against Anitha and Binu, who brought the children to the beach violating the government orders.
The local police had been searching for the child in the rough seas for the past two days. Life guards and Fire and Rescue personnel also aided the search mission. The sea was rough since Saturday due to severe weather conditions.
