Four individuals were arrested in Keralam for allegedly abducting and assaulting a 59-year-old man named Joney over his son's love marriage. The accused, linked to a relative who eloped with Joney's son, reportedly entered his home, demanded information about the son, and forcibly took Joney into a vehicle where he was assaulted. Police intervened after relatives alerted them, rescuing Joney and detaining the suspects, who were later remanded in judicial custody.
