Jobless man kills wife over dowry dispute
Coimbatore: A 32-year-old man from Tirupur, who was unemployed for the last three months, was arrested for kiling his wife over a dowry dispute.
The accused was identified as Abdul Samad from Sathya Nagar Extension on Kangeyam Road in Tirupur. The woman’s father said in their complaint that Abdul, the accused, demanded money as dowry from his wife to start a business.
This would lead to arguments and he would often assault her.
A Sultan Mohammed, 45, from Rakkiyapalayam in Tirupur, in his complaint said that he owned a hosiery company in Tirupur. His elder daughter Nisha Banu got married in 2013, but divorced her husband in 2015.
The next year, she got married to Abdul, a native of Thiruvannamalai district. Abdul was working as a driver. The couple was living in a rented house at Sathya Nagar extension on Kangeyam road in Tirupur city. Nisha had an 18-month-old child from her previous marriage.
Abdul did not go for work for the past few months and tortured his wife to ask her parents for dowry. “We often gave money to Abdul. Due to Covid-19, he did not have any work for the last three months. In June, he began to go for work as a supervisor in a hosiery company and used to return home once in a week. So our daughter was living with us. However, he often demanded money and would beat her,” said Sultan Mohammed.
On Sunday, Sultan’s son Salavuddin dropped Nisha and her son at Abdul’s place in Sathya Nagar extension. Around 8 pm, Sultan tried to reach his daughter over phone but the calls went unanswered. He then rushed to his daughter’s house, where he found Abdul with blood stains on his clothes. Nisha was found dead in the bedroom of the house.
Following his complaint, Tirupur south police arrested Abdul under IPC section 302 (murder).
