The trial for the case has been going on in the Chengappettu Mahila Court and Daswanth is being tried for the offence. The case came up for hearing and the girl’s father Babu and Daswanth were standing in the verandah. Mr. Babu claimed that Daswanth came near him under the pretext of speaking on the phone and threatened to kill him and his son if he ever came to the court again. “We called Daswanth for investigation on Tuesday and he denied it. Further investigation is on,” said a police officer attached to the Chengalpattu police station.
