A young Muslim woman from the Nattrampalli area was allegedly attacked by her relatives for visiting a Hindu temple with a friend, leading to a police case and widespread shock in the locality.
According to police, Shakeela, who lives with her husband Farooq in Nattrampalli, visited the Melmalaiyanur temple on Amavasya (new moon day) along with her daughter’s friend Vendamani. Shakeela had reportedly gone with her husband’s consent.
When Shakeela’s extended family learned of the visit, her mother Suraiya, her brother Amir Basha, and Amir’s wife Safura allegedly confronted the two women. The trio is accused of physically assaulting Shakeela and Vendamani, inflicting severe injuries. During the assault, Shakeela’s family members allegedly snatched her jewellery.
Vendamani, who suffered serious injuries, was admitted to the Nattrampalli Government Hospital for treatment. Shakeela also received medical care following the attack.
Shakeela and her husband subsequently lodged a complaint at the Nattrampalli Police Station. Based on their complaint, Nattrampalli police have registered a case and initiated an investigation.
Police said further inquiries are underway, and appropriate action will be taken following the investigation.
