Kozhikode Man Arrested for Fatally Attacking Wife Under Influence of Synthetic Drugs

Incident Leaves Father-in-Law Critically Injured; Accusations of Police Inaction Surface

In Eengappuzha, Kozhikode, a man named Yasir was arrested after fatally attacking his wife, Shibila, while allegedly under the influence of synthetic drugs. The incident occurred during Iftar and stemmed from a family dispute. When Shibila’s father, Abdurrahman, attempted to intervene, he was also attacked and is now in critical condition at Kozhikode Medical College. Shibila’s mother, Haseena, sustained injuries while trying to protect her husband and is receiving treatment at Thamarassery Taluk Hospital.

Yasir and Shibila had been married for four years and have a three-year-old child. Due to ongoing disputes, Shibila had recently returned to her parental home. During this period, Yasir allegedly burned her clothes and sent her a photograph to intimidate her. The family had previously filed a complaint with Thamarassery police regarding Yasir’s behavior, but they claim the matter was not adequately investigated. Police assert that the investigation is ongoing, and Yasir is currently held at Kozhikode Medical College Police Station.

This tragic incident highlights the escalating issue of domestic violence exacerbated by substance abuse in Kerala. Despite prior complaints and warning signs, the lack of timely intervention has led to devastating consequences. It underscores the urgent need for authorities to address domestic violence complaints with the seriousness they warrant, ensuring the safety and protection of vulnerable individuals.
