The Porumamilla police registered cases against 11 persons, including two police constables, for the alleged torture and murder of a woman Sheik Munni (30).
Having separated from her husband, the woman was employed in a local super market, where she was allegedly in a relationship with the owner Mabu Hussain. With the issue creating rift in their families, Mabu Hussain’s family members were alleged to have hatched a plan to eliminate her. Though Munni moved to Giddalur in Prakasam district some five months back, the relationship reportedly continued.
