ALUVA: A college teacher’s social media post about domestic abuse led to the arrest of her husband. The arrested man has been identified as Vaishakh (39) from Mamalakandam, Idukki. He will be produced in court today.

The teacher had alleged that she was being mentally harassed after her husband allowed his family to stay with them in their home, where she lives with her husband and their two-year-old child. She had lodged a complaint with the Rural SP on the 21st, but no action was taken.

After learning about the complaint, the husband allegedly went to the teacher’s parents’ house on Thursday and vandalised windows and other property. Following this, the teacher shared her distress in a social media post, which went viral and resulted in his arrest.
