UP police team visited Ernakulam district jail in Kakkanad on Saturday morning. “A sessions court at Mathura had issued a warrant to produce Rauf before it. The UP police team came with the warrant. He was taken on a train to UP from Kochi on Saturday. They will produce him before the court next week,” a jail official said.
