Fayis Moroor (49), a vlogger and native of Kakkodi in Kozhikode, has been accused of sexually and physically assaulting a woman who became acquainted with through social media.
He had been absconding since the case was registered three months ago. The police received information that he was hiding in Ernakulam and Thiruvananthapuram.
