Kasargod, Nov 2: Relating to the incident in which a lady had jumped from her residence at Kuwait and lost her life, Hosdurg station police personnel have arrested her husband, Satyaprakash alias Prakash Krishna (34), resident of Kushalnagar Kanhangad.
The victim, identified as Sushma, was a native of Madikai Ambalattara in the district. Sushma had married Satyaprakash in 2002. After marriage, Satyaprakash had taken his wife with him to Kuwait where she succeeded in bagging a job in a government-owned company. She had jumped to death later from her apartment building on September 24, 2013.
On the basis of complaint filed by Sushma's father, K V Kunhikrishnan, with the district superintendent of police, Hosdurg police took Satyaprakash into custody from Mangaluru airport.
It is said that Satyaprakash routinely came home at night fully drunk. He used to harass his wife to no end. Sushma's father also said in his complaint that Sushma's husband also spent salary earned by Sushma on liquor and other things for his lavish style of living.
When the body of Sushma was brought here after her death, policemen had asked Satyaprakash, who had accompanied the body, to come to police station. But Satyaprakash had avoided them and returned to Kuwait without their knowledge. The police had served lookout notice for him.
The police got to know that Satyaprakash was returning home after a gap of three years. They waited for him at Mangaluru airport and arrested him on his arrival.
