In Saharanpur, a woman was found dead under suspicious circumstances in the Mohalla Mahal area of the Ramapur Maniharan police jurisdiction. The deceased has been identified as 40-year-old Shabana. Her family alleges that her husband, Salim, murdered her by administering a narcotic substance and suffocating her with a pillow. Following the incident, the suspect fled the scene. Police arrived promptly and took the body into custody for an autopsy.
According to family members, Shabana married Salim approximately 20 years ago, who hails from the village of Kailashpur in the Gagalhedi police area. They claim that Salim exhibited aggressive behavior throughout their marriage, often resorting to physical violence against Shabana. Despite several community interventions, the situation did not improve. Concerned for their daughter's safety, the family arranged for her to live in a separate house in Ramapur Maniharan, but the harassment continued.
Shabana's father, Inam, reported that around 12:30 AM, he received a call from his son-in-law, who relayed that Salim had confessed to killing Shabana, instructing him to inform the family. Upon arriving at the scene, they found Shabana deceased in her home, while Salim had already escaped. The police have collected forensic evidence from the site and are reviewing nearby CCTV footage.
