MALAPPURAM: It has been alleged that a newlywed bride was brutally tortured by her husband just a few days after their marriage. The incident took place in Vengara in Malappuram. The complaint was lodged against Vengara native Muhammad Fayis. In her complaint, the woman alleged that Fayis started brutally assaulting her using a mobile charger and with his hands on the sixth day after marriage. She also said that suffered hearing impairment and several injuries due to the beating.

According to the complainant, Fayis assaulted her out of suspicion. He also demanded more money and gold as dowry.
