Police Spokesperson, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Ajith Rohana said today (31) that the suspect had given refuge to Hashim.
Reportedly, a clash had taken place in Kattankudy in 2017 between two groups which involved Hashim, which resulted him and four others to take refuge at the residence of a Registrar of Marriages in Oluvil.
