NEW DELHI: A family stabbed to death their daughter-in-law for water. The 23-year-old woman had a tiff with her brother-in-law after she claimed it was her turn to fill a bucket of water, much to the dislike of the man who insisted that he needed to bathe first.
The incident occurred around 8am at the JJ Colony in Wazirabad, northwest Delhi. The victim was Mumtaz. Her husband, Mukhtiyar, had tried to save her; but he was stabbed, too, and is in the hospital right now.
Mumtaz had gone to fill water when she found her brother-in-law bathing. "She requested him to stop for a while so that she could fill water. He refused and soon there was a verbal exchange. The brother-in-law was joined by his elder brother, Shakil alias Babloo, and his father, Roshan Khan; together, they started to beat the woman. Mumtaz cried out for help and Mukhtiyar responded.
He managed to end the fight; but Mumtaz alerted the cops from a nearby PCO. Upon her return, the three men attacked her again, and this time right outside her house. Two of them held her tight while Shakil stabbed her six times. Mukhtiyar tried to intervene, but they stabbed him too," claimed Brij Kishore, a witness.
Police rushed the two victims to the Babu Jagjivan Ram Hospital where Mumtaz was declared dead. Mukhtiyar is stable but has been kept under observation. Roshan Khan is also in hospital. "We have nabbed all the accused and have many witnesses. We have also seized the murder weapon," said a senior police officer.
Sources claimed that the argument over water was just a pretext; trouble had been brewing between the two families for a while. "Cops are aware that the two families are involved in a property dispute," said a local who did not wish to be named.
