Man Hires Killers To Murder Lover's Husband, Father; taxi driver killed in mistaken identity case
Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh police have uncovered that the murder of a taxi driver in Lucknow on December 30 was a case of mistaken identity. The victim, Mohammad Rizwan, was killed by a hitman gang reportedly hired by lawyer Aaftab Ahmed to eliminate the family members of a woman allegedly in a relationship with him.
Ahmed's plan targeted the woman's husband and father, but the hitmen mistakenly killed Rizwan in the Madehganj area. Investigations revealed that Ahmed had paid an advance of ₹2 lakh to the gang, who failed to receive the remaining amount after the botched attempt. The police have arrested Ahmed and two gang members, recovering an illegal firearm, live cartridges, a motorcycle, and mobile phones used in the crime. The accused are set to be presented in court.
In an unrelated incident, Lucknow police are investigating the murder of a woman and her four daughters in a hotel room, allegedly orchestrated by her son, Mohammad Arshad, with the involvement of her husband, Mohammad Badr. While Arshad is in judicial custody after confessing to the crime in a video, four police teams are working to arrest Badr.

Delhi Police refutes WB CM's assault claim on Bengali-speaking migrants, calls video 'fabricated'
New Delhi (PTI): The Delhi Police called a video shared by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on social media, alleging that a Bengali-speaking woman and her child were assaulted in the national capital for speaking their language, "fabricated" and "politically motivated."
Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Abhishek Dhania on Monday said that the police took immediate cognizance of the video shared on platform 'X' by the West Bengal CM, where she claimed that the woman and her child were brutally assaulted by Delhi Police personnel.
"Upon inquiry, we identified the woman as Sanjanu Parveen. During questioning, she alleged that on the night of July 26, four men in plain clothes posing as police personnel took her and her child to a secluded spot and demanded Rs 25,000, which she claimed to have paid," Dhania said.
However, the DCP said that a detailed investigation, including analysis of CCTV footage and local intelligence, revealed inconsistencies in her story.
"During sustained questioning, the woman admitted that her relative, a political worker from Malda district in West Bengal, had asked her to make the video. The video was then circulated locally in Bengal and later surfaced on social media," the officer said.
Terming the video "baseless and fabricated", Dhania added that the footage was deliberately created to defame the Delhi Police.
"This appears to be a deliberate attempt to malign the image of Delhi Police through a politically motivated narrative. The matter is still under investigation," he said.
