The police will issue a notice to Iqbal and seek his reply as part of the investigation.In her complaint, the woman alleged that she faced physical and mental abuse for several years during their marriage. She claimed that whenever her husband returned from Kuwait, disputes would begin soon after his arrival and would often escalate to harassment and physical violence.The complainant said that she is living separately in Banswara with her two sons aged 16 and 10 and the responsibility of their upbringing is on her. She also alleged that due to family tension she stayed away from her husband’s relatives, including her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.Police said statements of the parties involved will be recorded as part of the investigation. Since the accused is currently living abroad, the authorities will follow necessary legal process to contact him and ensure his participation in the case.The case has attracted attention because triple talaq, also known as instant talaq, was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court before criminalizing it through law in 2019. The law makes this practice a punishable offense in India.Investigation is ongoing.
