The UP police had arrested Kappan along with three others,claiming that they had links with Popular Front of India and its affiliate in Mathura.
They were on their way to a village in Hathras to meet the family of the woman who died after being allegedly gang-raped.
“We hope to get justice. We are worried that he will be booked under more charges,” Raihanath told the media after her meeting with Gandhi.
She said the family has had no contacts with Kappan since his arrest and even his lawyer has not been able to meet him, adding her husband has done no wrong.
Gandhi, who was in Kerala since the past three days, met the woman at the guest house at Kalpetta.
