The Aluva West police probing the case related to the beating up of a young pregnant woman have sought the help of the cyber police to track down the prime accused and his friend who is also a co-accused. In what is suspected to be a dowry-related atrocity, 22-year-old Nehalath, who is four months pregnant, was allegedly beaten up by her husband Mohammed Ali Jouhar in the presence of her father Salim on Wednesday. Jouhar’s friend Muhudas is accused of manhandling Salim. Both are now absconding. The police have also arraigned Jouhar’s mother Subaida, 55, and sisters Shabeena and Shareena as well on the victim’s allegation that they too had harassed her. The police are probing their roles even as they remain convinced that the victim was subjected to harassment, both mental and physical, over dowry.
