Kochi: A group of four excise officers from Idukki landed in trouble after they went to the wrong house in Fort Kochi in pursuit of an accused in a narcotics case. The team included a woman officer. Except one, all were dressed in plain clothes. They were reportedly directed to the wrong house by a passer-by. The woman didn’t open the door and called her husband, who was away on night duty. By that time, the owner of the rented house who lives nearby heard the commotion and approached the officers. The husband returned home soon, and the officers realised that the photograph of the accused they had did not match that of the man. The husband sought to see their identity cards, which he alleged the officers declined to produce. The accused they were pursuing was living a few houses away in the neighbourhood.
