A horrifying incident occurred in Garhi Daulat village of Shamli district, Uttar Pradesh, where a man named Mohammad Farooq murdered his wife Tahira (aged 32-35) and two minor daughters Afreen (14) and Sahreen (7). According to police, Farooq enforced strict purdah on his wife and never allowed her to step out without a burqa.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
About a month ago, following a domestic dispute over household expenses, Tahira went to her parental home without wearing a burqa, which Farooq found unbearable, feeling his “honor” was compromised. He planned the crime, acquired an illegal pistol, and had a pit dug in the house. He then called his wife back and on the night of December 10, shot her. When the elder daughter woke up, he shot her too, and strangled the younger one. He buried all three bodies in the pit in the courtyard.
The case came to light when Farooq’s father suspected foul play over their disappearance and informed police. On December 16, bodies were recovered, and Farooq was arrested after confessing to the murders, citing the burqa issue as the main reason. This is seen as an example of “honor killing.” Investigation is ongoing.
