Pantheerankavu domestic violence case: survivor’s family angered by ‘outright lies’ spread by family of accused

The family of the newly married woman from North Paravur, who was allegedly subjected to domestic violence at her husband’s house at Pantheerankavu in Kozhikode, has taken serious note of the allegations levelled against the survivor by the family of the accused.

Rahul P. Gopal, the survivor’s husband, is the first accused in the case. A section of the media had aired the statements of accused’s mother, which the survivor’s family perceived as aspersing the character of the survivor.

“After having brutally beaten up my daughter, they are now spreading outright lies about her to deflect the blame. He [the husband] had not only brutally assaulted my daughter, but it has now emerged that he had married again without getting legally separated from his first marriage, thus committing marriage fraud,” said the survivor’s father.
