Kerala youth with a look out notice nabbed at Delhi airport; let off later

New Delhi/ Kozhikode, Aug 12 (SocialNews.XYZ) Rahul Gopal, a youth from Kerala who arrived from Germany on Monday, was nabbed by the Delhi Police soon after he landed at the IGI Airport as there was a look out notice against him issued by the Kerala Police.

When her family came to her in-laws place on May 12, her travails surfaced and after persuasion she told her mother how she was beaten and almost strangulated with a mobile charger by Rahul.
