Kollam: Kottiaym Police on Thursday interrogated a serial actress in connection with the suicide of Ramsi (24) of Kottumpuram. The actress is the sister-in-law of Haaris Muhammed of Pallimukku who was arrested in the case. Ramsi committed suicide after Haaris, her fiance, decided to call off their wedding.
Meanwhile, a nine-member investigation team has been constituted to conduct a detailed probe into the circumstances that led to the young woman’s suicide. Police arrested Haaris after four days of Ramsi’s death only after her audio message accusing him became viral on social media.
Ramsi had accused Haaris for withdrawing from the marriage pact after exploiting her physically and financially. Following her family’s complaint, police have interrogated the Haaris’s sister-in-law (brother’s wife) who is a serial actress. They told police that the actress used to take Ramsi out of her house to accompany her during the serial shooting.
Ramsi had stated that it was with the knowledge of Haaris’s parents and other family members, including the serial actress, that she was taken to Ernakualm to terminate her pregnancy. After sexually exploiting her several times and collecting huge amount of money and jewellery in the name of starting a workshop at Pallimukku, Haaris called off their proposed marriage. He told Ramsi that he wanted to marry another girl to settle his debt using the dowry. His family members also wanted Ramsi to find another match for herself.
Police have found that Haaris’s family had fabricated a fake marriage certificate to facilitate the abortion procedure in a hospital at Ernakulam. Ramsi was found hanging in her rented house at Kottiyam on September 3.
A social media collective ‘Justice for Ramsi’ has extended support to Ramsi’s family to pursue the case.
