Belgaum: A 24-year-old youngster was brutally murdered in Belgaum under the jurisdiction of Belagavi Railway Police Station on Tuesday, 28 September.
The deceased youngster has been identified as Arbaaz Aptab Mulla (24), a resident of Khanapur.
According to the complaint filed by Arbaaz’s mother, a Ram Sena activist Maharaj along with two others for the murder of her son. The mother Nazeema Shaikh, has named two other in her complaint including the father of Shweta, a girl who her son was allegedly having affair with.
Shaikh claims this to be a case where the family of the girl got her son brutally killed for being in an inter-religious relationship. She also alleged that Arbaaz was getting threatening calls from Maharaj and others against his friendship with Shweta.
Nazima also stated that Shweta was asking Arbaaz to break up with her saying she was getting marriage proposals from rich families.
According to Nazima, Maharaj called Arbaaz and her to a secluded place last Sunday and threatened them asking them to delete all pictures and contact details of Shweta and demanded money from them.
“He said that he has around 40 cases registered against him and that he is not bothered about getting another one registered against him. He said he would pour acid on our faces if we failed to give money. I had not taken cash with me so I told him I will pay using UPI but he did not agree. After pleading for several minutes we managed to come out of there” Nazima said.
“On Tuesday I had gone out of station for some paperwork related to my travel plans to the UK where my daughter stays. When I returned home, Arbaaz was missing from home. And then I get a call from a random person adding that they found my son’s phone. Later we found his body, he was killed. His hands and legs were tied and was brutally murdered” a grieving Nazima told Vartha Bharati over a phone call.
“Some people say it was a suicide because he was madly in love with the girl. But if it was a suicide how were his hands and legs tied?” Nazima questions while demanding justice for her son.
Based on her complaint, Maharaj, Shweta’s father Kumbar, and another person named Birje have been named in the FIR by the cops, but no arrests or action has yet been initiated against the three accused.
Vartha Bharati tried getting more details about the police action in the case and allegations of lapses from their side while the investigation, but the Railway Police SHO refrained from commenting on the matter citing “Technicalities” of the investigation. He said they will give details of the case and investigations shortly.
