H Shemeena, 20, of Ooty in Nilgiris district had married Mohammed Bayas, 25, of RK Nagar of Bangalore on December 5, 2010. Shemeena's parents had given seven sovereigns of gold ornaments and one lakh rupees as dowry to the groom. Later, the couple went to Bangalore.
However, Mohammed Bayas did not have a job and sold off the jewels. Recently, Shemeena fell ill and when she complained of headache, Bayas gave her two tablets. She fell unconscious after taking the tablets and he shot a video of her. According to the FIR, he compelled her to have sexual intercourse with his friends. He threatened her that he would upload the videos on the internet, if she resisted. But Shemeena refused and he harassed her. Whenever, he went out, he would lock her inside the house.
Eventually, Shemeena escaped his custody and came to her brother's house at Nehru Nagar at Kalapatti. Bayas visited her here as well and threatened her. He demanded 10 sovereigns of gold and one lakh rupees from her family and threatened to upload the video on internet if they failed to accede to his demand.
