Laila Khan Murder
Bollywood starlet Laila Khan alias Reshma Nadirshah Patel (30) and her family members were enjoying a vacation at their Igadpuri farm house last February when things went wrong and the main accused — Laila’s mother’s third husband, Parvez Iqbal Tak (29) — allegedly killed all the six family members in a ‘fit of rage.’
Tak allegedly told the police that he disliked his wife’s proximity to her second husband Aasif Sheikh. The police also did not deny the possibility of property being the motive for the murders.
When they came to back to the Oshiwara flat, they saw Imran, Laila and Zara were ready to go to Igadpuri,” he said. Thereafter, all the siblings and Talli went to Igadpuri in Laila’s Mitsubishi Outlander which she herself drove, and Tak and Shehlina went the next day.
After the murders Tak and Shakir allegedly went to Ghoti, around seven kilometres away from Igadpuri, and hired private drivers to take the Scorpio and Mitsubishi Outlander to Jammu & Kashmir. Then they went to the Oshiwara flat and possibly cleared it of all its valuables, the police said.
The entire family was to shift to Dubai as it is believed that Laila had married someone in Dubai who wanted everyone to shift there. Police sources said Shehlina was apparently unwilling to take Tak with them. It is not clear who Laila Khan got married to. According to unconfirmed reports, there might be an underworld connection to it.
The police are now on the lookout for Shakir Hussain Wani. Both Parvez and Shakir have been booked under Sections 201 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code, pertaining to murder and destruction of evidence.
They are also in the process of verifying Tak’s claim that the crime was done in a fit of rage.
“We have to yet examine if it was premeditated or it happened on the spur of the moment,” Mr. Roy said, adding that no one, including Aasif, have yet been given a clean chit by the Crime Branch.
