The police believe that Rahna is in Punalur in Kollam district.
Kottayam: With all the 14 accused in the alleged honour killing of Kevin P Joseph in Kottayam landing in the police net, the mother of Neenu Chacko, whom the victim was about to marry, was fearing arrest.
Neenu's mother Rahna is likely to move the Kerala High Court on Monday seeking anticipatory bail, sources said. The police may slap her with charges of criminal conspiracy.
Inspector general Vijay Sakhare who supervises the probe said Rahna was under the police radar. The police believe that she is in Punalur in Kollam district. However, she has not been listed as an accused yet.
It is suspected that Rahna's husband Chacko and son Syanu would have found her a safe hideout before they surrendered before the police. She was found at a house in Thenmala last.
Accused to be brought to Kottayam
Meanwhile, the police would bring five accused who were arrested recently to Kottayam on Sunday. They are Reneesh, Fazal, Shanu, Shinu and Vishnu.
Sakhare on Saturday told the media that the police made serious lapses in the probe into the case. "There was an unprecedented lapse on the part of the police in Gandhinagar station in taking action on the complaint. The matter was not conveyed to superior officers on time," he said. He said a detailed report on this will be submitted to the state police chief soon.
Kevin's body was found in a river at Thenmala on Monday morning, a day after he was abducted from his house at Mannanam in Kottayam by a group led by the brother of Neenu.
