KOTTAYAM: Police have recorded the statement of the mother of Shymol who committed suicide in Athirampuzha in Kottayam. The last time Shymol came to her home, she told her mother that she was afraid to stay at her husband's house. Shymol also asked her mother to look after her child.

The family of 24-year-old Shymol had alleged that she committed suicide due to constant torture by her husband. Following this, Shymol's husband Anil Varkey was arrested by the police. The preliminary conclusion is that Shymol had been subject to severe physical torture at her husband's house.

Anil Varkey, a driver, is 26 years old. The two fell in love and got married four years ago. Shymol's family alleged that Shymol had been a victim of physical and mental abuse by her husband for a long time. Complaints were also raised that Shymol hanged herself at her husband's house as she was unable to endure the torture. The police later arrested Anil after finding that there was merit in Shymol's family's complaint.
