This is not the first time Hussain’s name has come up in a crime. Earlier, in June, Hussain was booked for alleged domestic violence and attempt to kill his wife over dowry. Police lodged an FIR after a preliminary inquiry into the complaint of Hussain’s wife Nusrat Begum. The couple married in 2015, and the couple has two children.
