Muvatupuzha: The police on Tuesday arrested Anson, the biker who caused the accident that claimed the life of a college girl last week. Anson was brought to the police station after he was discharged from the hospital Tuesday afternoon. 

Anson's speeding motorcycle mowed down R Namitha, a final-year BCom student as she was crossing the road in the heart of Muvattupuzha town on July 26.

Anson, who was injured in the accident, was undergoing treatment at the Kottayam Medical College Hospital after the incident. The police arrested him after he was discharged from the hospital as he was recovering from head and leg injuries.

Fearing outrage from college students, police refrained from bringing Anson to the accident site during the day to gather evidence. A police team led by circle inspector P M Baiju arrived at Nirmala College, Muvattupuzha to collect information from Principal Dr KV Thomas and eyewitnesses. 

Another student, Anushree Raj, who was being treated at Kottayam's Caritas Hospital after being injured in the accident, left the hospital.
