Coimbatore: Karthi, one of the accused arrested in connection with the sexual assault and murder of a 10-year-old girl in Sulur, has been shifted to Coimbatore Central Prison after completing treatment at the Coimbatore Government Medical College Hospital.

Karthi (35) and Mohan (31) were arrested by the Sulur Police in connection with the brutal crime that shocked Tamil Nadu. Both accused have been booked under the POCSO Act and other relevant sections. They were also detained under the Goondas Act earlier this week, while a court extended their judicial custody until June 5.
