Police found out that the girl was a minor when she was married. He will be produced in the POCSO court in Kozhikode.

The girl was famed as a vlogger and actor. She was spotted dead in her residence at Al Jafiliya in Dubai. She was staying with her husband then. Her family alleged conspiracy behind the death as she was active on social media even a day before her death.
The investigation team had obtained a video of the girl discussing the tortures she suffered from her husband, with another person, who had shared the apartment with the couple. In the 25-minute-long video, the girl said that her husband thrashed her mercilessly and what would her husband do if something happened to her during the assault.
After two months of the death, the mortal remains of the girl were exhumed and an autopsy was carried out. The autopsy report confirmed death by hanging. Following this, the girl’s mother filed a petition to find the reason behind her suicide.
