Woman accused in 'No 18' hotel rape case says she was framed

Kozhikode: Anjali Reema Dev, an accused in the Kochi drug case involving rape of girls, said that she was framed. She accused another money-lending woman and her gang of conspiring against her. Anjali says in her social media post that all accusations against her are fake. The video was posted on February 2. 

A POCSO case was registered against 'No 18' hotel owner Roy J Vayalat at the Fort Kochi police station based on a complaint by a mother and daughter from Kozhikode. Roy's friend Saiju Thankachan and his friend Anjali were also named accused in the case.

According to the complaint, Roy had sexually assaulted the girl in his hotel weeks before the car accident that left two Kerala models dead in Vytilla. Further, the accused allegedly recorded the incident on mobile phone. Anjali had threatened to share the video on social media if the girl lodged a complaint with the police.

The POCSO case was handed over to the Special Investigation Team investigating the model's accident case. Roy and Saiju are also accused in the death of models in Vytilla. In addition, seven cases have been registered against Saiju at various stations for drug use and drug trafficking.
