Aluva: A day after a 21-year-old law student died by suicide in Kochi, the police arrested three people, including her husband, in Kerala's Aluva on Wednesday.

The deceased, Moufiya Parveen, died by suicide after alleging her husband Muhammed Suhail and his family members harassed her for dowry.
The police have arrested her husband Muhammad Suhail, her father-in-law Yusuf and her mother-in-law Rukhiya.
