Actor Unni Dev, son of late actor Rajan P Dev was arrested on Tuesday being taken into custody for the suicide of his wife Priyanka, early this month.

Dev is also an actor who has acted in a few Malayalam films.

The Nedumangad police team arrived at his home in Ernakulam district and took him into custody and after ensuring that he has become COVID-19 negative, went ahead with the procedures.

His wife was found hanging at her home at Vattapara on May 12, 2021. The Vattapara Police station had then registered a case of unnatural death and they then admitted that a day before her death, she came and gave a complaint of domestic abuse.

Later the brother of Priyanka also filed a petition of the abuse she had suffered at Unni's house. The local police then began their probe and it got stuck after it was known that Unni was COVID-19 positive and on Tuesday the police have found out that he has turned negative.
