The Udayamperoor police have launched a probe into the alleged illegal detention and physical torture of a woman at a yoga centre near Kandanadu.

According to the police, the woman, a native of Kannur, lodged a complaint against the Sreesakthi Yoga Centre near Kandanadu of detaining her illegally for nearly a month.

The woman, who married a youth from another religion, was purportedly admitted to the yoga centre by her relatives to prevent her from converting to her husband’s religion.

The instructors at the yoga centre had also tortured her in custody on various occasions, the complaint stated.
