The Thiruvananthapuram City Police have arrested two men in connection with the alleged exploitation of a 16-year-old girl at a spa in Kovalam.

The Kovalam police identified the accused persons as Nishanth, 46, of Poovar, and Sajith Kumar, 47, of Mavelikkara.

The victim, a native of Andhra Pradesh, is suspected to have been brought to Kovalam in July by her maternal aunt and the aunt’s husband, who were responsible for her care after her parents’ death.

The investigators suspect that the relatives used forged documents to falsely establish that the girl was 20 years old. An Aadhaar card in her possession, which indicated that age, was found to be fake, according to the police.
