The November 12 tweet showed Jasmine Sultan, 33, crying with one of her eyes bleeding. Her tweet said: "Required urgent help. My name Jasmine Sultan I live in UAE Sharjah my husband name is Mohammad Khizar Ulla... I have (been) assaulted badly by husband... I want help."
She claimed her husband used to assault her regularly. The couple had been married for seven years and have two boys, aged five and 17 months. Sultan also alleged that her husband took away their passports and all her gold jewellery which had been reported to the police in February.
She said she had sought help from the authorities to send her back to her home town of Bengaluru as she had no relatives here and money to raise her children. Meanwhile, Sharjah Police on their social media account said competent authorities dealt with the case. They urged residents not to post or share such videos on social media due to its negative impact on society.
