Kozhikode: In a shocking revelation, a woman has come forward accusing her ex-husband of drug trafficking in the district.

The allegations have been raised against Shijas, a Kozhikode native, who is currently in jail following his arrest in an MDMA case. The woman alleged that Shijas was friends with 25-year-old Yasir, the prime suspect in the recent stabbing death of his wife, Shibila (23), in Engapuzha, Kozhikode. She claimed that Shijas was allegedly supplying drugs to Yasir and was using women to sell drugs.

She also accused Shijas of locking her inside their residence and physically assaulting her. "I was locked up inside the house. Whenever I went out, I was forced to go with him. I tried to escape many times. My mother filed complaints with the police three or four times, but no action was taken. I was trapped for almost two years," she said. The woman added that he has been threatening her even from prison.
