The all-women police have arrested a 36-year-old for harassing his wife for dowry, domestic violence and other charges.
The police identified the accused as Allwin, 36, a practising advocate and resident of Raja Annamalai Puram. He married Akshayaa Benjamin in 2020. She alleged that he suppressed the fact that he had been in a live-in relationship with another woman, and the family harassed her for dowry.
Ms. Benjamin also said her father-in-law Godwin had also threatened her father.
Police said on interrogation, they found that the allegations levelled against him were true.
Hence, Allwin was arrested and remanded in judicial custody.
