  "account": "The Kottiyam police in Kollam, Keralam, have arrested a man in connection with allegations that he secretly recorded his wife and uploaded the footage to adult websites without her consent. The accused fled after the case was registered but was later apprehended by the authorities and taken into custody.\n\nAccording to the complaint, the couple had been living in the UK for several years following a decade-long relationship. Upon returning to their hometown recently, the wife discovered that private recordings made during their time abroad had been shared online without her knowledge or consent.\n\nSevere domestic abuse escalated when the wife confronted her husband about the issue. The investigation expanded when the couple's four-year-old daughter provided testimony during a counseling session, revealing inappropriate behavior by her father. This led authorities to add provisions under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act to the existing charges against the man.\n\nThe victim, in her testimony, reported that despite seeking marital counseling upon returning home to address the ongoing issues, the abusive behavior continued. She alleged that her husband forced her into unwanted situations against her will and physically assaulted her when she resisted, ultimately forcing her to seek refuge with a friend before reporting the abuse to the authorities.",
