Kerala Woman Death
A month after the death of Chavara native Athulya Shekhar (29) in Sharjah, Kerala Police had detained her husband Satheesh (40), the sole accused in the case, at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport.
The case began after Athulya’s parents complained, alleging that she was subjected to repeated harassment, physical abuse, and dowry-related demands by Satheesh.
They claimed that their daughter often confided in them about the abuse, and that they had repeatedly urged her to leave him.
As per IANS, Athulya’s death on July 19 sent shockwaves through her native village. She was found hanging inside her apartment in Sharjah. Her mortal remains were repatriated to Kerala the same day, and a post-mortem examination was conducted at Parippally Medical College.
