Kerala Woman Dies By Suicide, Accuses Lover Of Harassment, Conversion
Kochi: The local police at Kothamangalam in Kerala have taken into custody Ramees from Paravoor in connection with the suicide of 23-year-old Sona Eldhose, a Teacher's Training Course student. The woman's mother on Monday said that her daughter, Sona, was in love with Ramees for a while, and they were compelling her to change her religion. 'She was locked up and beaten last week after she resisted their attempts to take her to Ponnani for converting her. They refused to heed her demand that she is willing to register marriage but not for conversion,' said the girl's mother. He faces charges including abetment of suicide and physical assault, after evidence emerged of alleged abuse and pressure to convert the woman. Sona was found hanging in her home on Saturday. Her death note, recovered by police on Sunday, accuses Ramees of physical and mental harassment, locking her in a room, and forcing her to convert before marriage. She also alleged that Ramees's family members and friends pressured her to change her religion, stating that marriage would only be possible after conversion and that she must live in his family home. Police say they have secured proof from WhatsApp chats showing Ramees responding 'go ahead' when Sona said she might take her own life. Investigators also claim to have evidence of Ramees assaulting her. His family members are likely to be named as co-accused. According to the note and statements from Sona's family, the relationship began during college and later turned abusive. The couple had discussed marriage, but Ramees's relatives allegedly insisted on religious conversion, warning that without it, he would be ostracised from the mosque. Sona initially agreed but delayed the process due to her father's recent death. Her brother alleged that despite Ramees's earlier arrest in an immoral trafficking case, Sona forgave him. Recently, Ramees allegedly took her to his home under the pretext of visiting a friend, confined her to a room, and assaulted her. He also allegedly prepared a vehicle to take her to Ponnani for conversion, but when she refused, he told her to die. Police have confirmed Ramees's employment as a temporary staff member at the Kochi Airport. The investigation is being led by Kothamangalam police, with the case upgraded from unnatural death to abetment of suicide following the recovery of the death note. Questioning of the accused is underway. The case has drawn public attention for its serious allegations involving coercion, abuse, and religious pressure. --IANS sg/skp (Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)

Kerala Doctor Duped Of Rs 4.43 Crore In WhatsApp Trading Scam, Two Arrested
The Kerala police detected as many as 18 more accounts in the name of various individuals to transfer the money earned through online fraud. A doctor in Kerala was scammed of Rs 4.43 crore after falling victim to a fraudulent WhatsApp scheme. The state's cybercrime unit has arrested two men in connection with the case, according to officials quoted by IANS. The accused have been identified as Mehbubasha Farooq and Rijaz, and they were arrested in Chennai by the Kannur City Cyber Crime Police. While Farooq hails from Chennai, Rijaj is a resident of Perumbavoor in Ernakulam district and has been settled in Chennai. The two accused allegedly ran a scam via WhatsApp, luring the victim with promises of high returns from investments in a fake online trading platform. According to police, the accused added the doctor — a resident of Mattannur in Kerala's Kannur district — to a WhatsApp group in June, where they promoted an online share trading scheme and promised large profits. The victim was asked to send money to several bank accounts under the pretext of a 'wealth profit plan' linked to a fictitious company named Upstock. 'We have traced about Rs 40 lakh deposited by the accused in their accounts. Besides this, the police detected as many as 18 more accounts in the name of various individuals to transfer the money earned through online fraud. The matter is under investigation now," said the officer. He also confirmed that no links to terrorism had been uncovered during the inquiry. Though the trading app would show the profits earned, he found the platform unresponsive and could not withdraw the amount, prompting him to approach the police to file a complaint with the police on June 25. 'The victim was led to believe he was making lucrative investments, but the entire setup was a sham," the cyber police said. The incident came to light after the cybercrime team tracked down the suspects by following the trail of bank account numbers and mobile phones used in the fraud. A deeper investigation led them to Chennai, where the two accused were arrested. The officer added that they are now looking into whether a larger network is involved and if there are more victims connected to the online scam.
