In separate news, a 30-year-old woman, Haseena Begum and her 20-year-old lover, Abdul Salam alias Piddi, were arrested in Uttar Pradesh’s Bahraich for killing her husband, Zakir Ali. Police said the duo strangled Zakir with a dupatta while he slept and later slit his throat. Haseena initially tried to mislead investigators by blaming her husband’s relatives, alleging a land dispute. Evidence, however, exposed her involvement. The couple had been in a relationship for two years and saw Zakir as an obstacle. Police recovered the murder weapon, blood-stained clothes, and their phones. A Rs 20,000 reward was announced for the investigating team.
