On Sunday, Shaikh’s post-mortem report revealed that he had died on account of three stab injuries. Suspecting their involvement, the police began interrogating Nazira and Alam separately. An officer said, “The versions of events that the duo gave were contradictory, leading to further suspicion. On sustained interrogation, they confessed to having killed Shaikh,” the officer added.
An officer said that Nazira and Alam were having an extra marital affair and Shaikh came to know about it some time back. This had led to frequent fights between the couple. On Saturday, the couple again fought following which Shaikh intervened. The argument led to blows when the accused are alleged to have stabbed Shaikh, leading to his death. The police registered an FIR against the duo on charges of murder and arrested them. They were produced before the court which remanded them to police custody.
