: Just hours after the Kerala High Court rejected his anticipatory plea, Sukanth Suresh, the suspended IB officer accused in a case relating to the suicide of his colleague, surrendered before the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Kochi City, Aswathy Gigi, on Monday.
He has been moved to the Ernakulam Central police station since then. The investigation officer of the suicide case from Pettah police in Thiruvananthapuram will take over his custody shortly.
The victim’s body was found near the Pettah railway station on March 24, 2025. Consequently, the Pettah police initially registered a case arraigning Sukanth for abetment to suicide. Later, rape charges were also invoked.
