Rahul P. Gopal, the victim’s husband, is the first accused in the incident which came to light when her parents came to see her on May 12.

In the preliminary investigation, the special team comprising seven officers found that the 29-year-old accused had been married twice and he had not revealed the details to anyone while attempting to marry the third time. He had also not secured legal divorce in one of the marriages, sources said.
