Five people, including three women, were arrested for allegedly kidnapping and assaulting a youth from Pattambi after plotting to end his relationship with one of the women.

The arrested were Safana, 19, from Pattambi, Nadia, 20, and Rabeeba, 25, both from Annara, Tirur, and their male friends Irshad, 28, and Azharudheen, 25, both from Paravanna. The police arrested them from Thazhepalam, Tirur.

The police said Irshad and Azharudheen had faced action under the Kerala Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act (KAAPA) and were involved in several criminal cases, including drug trafficking, attempted murder and assault.

The five were produced before the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court at Tirur and remanded in judicial custody.
