Kerala Suicide Case: Police Detain Shimjitha Mustafa In Kozhikode For Abetment Of Deepak's Suicide

In this Special Report, India Today’s Shibimol KG provides the latest updates on the tragic suicide of 42-year-old Deepak in Kerala. The police have taken the accused, Shimjitha Mustafa, into custody from a relative's residence in Kozhikode after she was previously reported absconding. Shibimol KG reports, 'The lookout circular was issued earlier because there were reports that she might have left the state already.' The case involves allegations of abetment to suicide after Mustafa shared a viral video accusing Deepak of molestation, which his family claims caused him severe mental stress. The police had intensified their search following the registration of a non-bailable offence. The programme details how the lookout circular was issued to prevent her from fleeing the country before her eventual detention. The arrest is expected to be recorded soon as the investigation into the social media bullying and the circumstances leading to the suicide continues.
