Delhi: Father-Son Duo Kill 22-year-old Daughter, Relative Over Suspicion of Affair | Ghastly Details Inside – News18

In a suspected case of honour killing, a father-son duo brutally killed his daughter and a distant relative over suspicion of an illicit affair. The incident occurred in Delhi’s Bhajanpura area.

Accused Mohammad Shahid (46) and his son Kudush (20), slit open the throats of their daughter and her brother and themselves called the police to inform them about the murder and surrendered.

The deceased has been identified as 22-year-old Shaina and her brother Danish, 35. Shaina’s body was found with deep cuts on her neck and her hands and feet were tied with clothes, police said.

The accused, who are fruit sellers, were apprehended and further investigation is on.

Danish, who too worked as a fruit vendor, is the cousin of Shahid, Deputy Commissioner of Police (northeast) Joy Tirkey said.

“Shaina, daughter of Shahid, was found with a deep incised wound on her neck. Her hands and feet were tied up with a dupatta and lungi,” Tirkey said.

Sharing further details about the incident, the DCP said the police got a call at 4.40 pm on Tuesday, and the caller said that he killed his sister and uncle and wanted to surrender before the police.

“A team was immediately dispatched to the spot in Ram Gali, North Ghonda. The house was located on the second floor. The team apprehended both the accused from the spot and took custody of the dead bodies which were later sent for autopsy,” Tirkey said.

Further investigation revealed that Shahid and his son Kudush allegedly murdered Shaina and Danish because they believed they were in a relationship, he said.

“Throats of both deceased were slit with a large fruit-cutting knife. The accused first killed Danish and then Shaina. After killing both of them, Kudush called the PCR, during which he admitted to having killed his sister and uncle,” the DCP said. “A murder case is being registered in the matter,” he added.
