Based on a report by news agency PTI, the accused, who is a native of Mayyanad in Kerala, had been living with his wife and daughter in the UK for the past four years.

{{/usCountry}}The report adds that the husband also pushed for his wife to engage in "wife-swapping."
"She never agreed to it. He was an engineering dropout and had accompanied his wife to the UK. It appears that even after counselling, he continued with the alleged offences," said Advocate Prashanth V Kurup, who is representing the complainant, to PTI.
Despite the counselling, the wife found another video of the accused engaging in a sexual act in front of their minor daughter.
When questioned about the video, the accused allegedly assaulted his wife, which prompted her to file a police complaint.
