The Kerala police have apprehended two teenage youths from Wayanad for allegedly raping two minor Adivasi girls on new years eve. The two accused persons have been identified as Mohammad Noufal and Kaniampatta Shamim. The youths, aged 18 and 19 respectively, hail from Kambalakkad, one of the small towns near Kalpetta in the Wayanad district, Kerala.
