Malayalam actor Sahana found dead,parents accuse husband of domestic violence and murder
Model-turned-actor Sahana was found dead in mysterious circumstances at her residence in Kozhikode on Thursday night. Reportedly she had celebrated her 22nd birthday earlier in the day. Her parents have accused her husband Sajjad of domestic abuse, following which he was detained by the Police for questioning. Sahana had worked in several advertisements in Kerala at the start of her career and had made her debut in Tamil cinema recently. Her husband used to work in Qatar but is currently unemployed. Her body was found by her husband at their rented house. Sahana’s parents have accused Sajjad and his family of murdering her claiming that he used to harass her for money. Sahana’s mother told the media, “My daughter would never die by suicide, she was murdered. She used to cry all the time saying they were torturing her. He used to get drunk and create trouble. His parents and sister were also torturing her, then I suggested that they move to a separate house. Even after that my daughter told me that he was behaving badly with her and wanted money. The 25 sovereigns of gold that we gave had been used. She had wanted to meet us on her birthday.” Her landlord told Matrubhoomi News, “I heard Sajjad’s call for help and I rushed to the house. When I entered the house, I saw his wife lying on his lap. When I asked him what happened, he said she was not responding. So I asked him to take her to the hospital. We then called the police and they reached here within five minutes.” ACP K Sudarshan told a news channel, “She acted in a Tamil venture and received some money for it recently. The couple seem to have had arguments over this. Yesterday was her birthday, but he came back late. The couple had another argument then. According to the husband, he found her dead inside the bathroom after that.”
