The case of Athulya Sekhar, who was found dead in her apartment in Sharjah, has officially been handed over to a specialised investigation unit of the Kerala Police.
Athulya, a 30-year-old woman, was found hanging in her apartment last month on her 30th birthday.
Though the case was initially ruled a suicide, her family strongly suspected foul play, citing a history of physical and emotional abuse by her husband.
The transfer was deemed necessary due to limitations faced by local police regarding the extradition and issuance of notices against her husband.
