Authorities in India have filed a case against the husband of Athulya Shekhar, a 30-year-old Indian woman found dead in her apartment near Rolla Park in Sharjah on July 19. The charges include physical abuse, dowry harassment, and abetment of suicide, based on a complaint lodged by her parents. According to social worker Abdullah Kamampalam, the husband faces multiple charges under Indian law —...

including grievous assault, wrongful confinement, and violations of the Dowry Prohibition Act. A lookout notice has been issued, meaning Indian authorities will detain him upon arrival in the country. “The Sharjah Police are expected to release the forensic report soon,” said Kamampalam, who is supporting the family with legal processes and repatriation of Athulya’s body. Athulya had recently celebrated her birthday with her sister and was set to start her first job in a Sharjah mall. She had been living in the UAE for two years. Her 10-year-old daughter lives in India with her grandparents. The Indian Consulate in Dubai expressed condolences and confirmed that they are in touch with the grieving family and UAE authorities to provide full support. This incident follows another tragic case involving an Indian mother and her daughter in Sharjah, sparking concerns over domestic abuse among expatriate communities.
