Palakkad: Ironically, on a day ahead of the ‘World suicide prevention day’, a 29-year-old woman, Meera, was found dead, allegedly under suspicious circumstances, at her husband’s home in Palakkad.
While police initially said Meera had died by suicide, her family has alleged domestic abuse and foul play. Meera died at her husband’s home in Puthupariyaram in Palakkad.
Her husband’s name is Anoop.
Meera’s family is set to file a complaint against Anoop. Presently, the Hemambika Nagar police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) for unnatural death.
Meera, who hails from Chelod in Mattumanda, married Anoop in 2024, many years after her first marriage ended. She has an 11-year-old child from her first marriage. On September 9, Meera came to her parents’ home after a fight with Anoop. That night, Anoop took her back to his home, where Meera died.
“He used to physically abuse her, but she chose to stay with him. She had planned to file a police complaint the day after she came home,” a relative told media persons. “But at night, around 11:00 pm, he came home, and she went with him. The next morning, her mother was informed by the police about the death. She never died by suicide,” the relative added.
Hareesh, Station House Officer (SHO) of Hemambika Nagar police, said the investigation into the death is ongoing.
“Currently, the inquest and other procedures are over. We learnt that some issues had happened between the husband and wife. But further details can be revealed only after the investigation,” he said.
Meera’s body is currently in the Palakkad district hospital for postmortem procedures.
