The family of a 22-year-old lady who was fatally bludgeoned by her cousin on Friday in a park in Malviya Nagar said that the victim had been threatened in the week prior to the murder.
Mohammad Irfan, the attacker, and his cousin Nargis proceeded to the Vijay Mandal Park in Begumpur near Sri Aurobindo College in Malviya Nagar, where they allegedly beat the woman 40 or so times with an iron rod in a fit of passion after she refused to marry him, according to the police.
According to officials, the terrible murder occurred within 100 meters of a police station at 11:50 a.m.
Irfan and Nargis both live in Sangam Vihar.
The woman's older brother Sameer Khan, 26, stated, "Earlier this week, Irfan had called me to say that Nargis is not answering his calls, and he threatened to make all their private WhatsApp messages and photos public and destroy her life."
"At around 1 pm, when I got a call from the Malviya Nagar police station about the murder, I lost all sense of reality," said Sultaj Khan, the 49-year-old motor mechanic who is also Nargis's father. I found it hard to imagine that my bright kid would suffer such a gruesome fate. Irfan had been haunting Nargis for about four months when I called him and his parents to discuss the situation and resolve it because my daughter was going to get married into a respectable family.
