Mumtaz was alone at the time of incident, while her husband Rasheed was away at work. The incident came to light after Rasheed’s repeated attempts to contact her went futile. He called several times on her mobile phone but she did not answer. Rasheed later called his grandson and asked him to go to the house and find out why Mumtaz was not answering his calls.
Her grandson reached the flat and rang the doorbell various times, but Mumtaz did not open the door. He entered the flat from the kitchen window, only to find his grandmother in a pool of blood. He immediately called Rasheed, who reached the spot and alerted the cops. Mumtaz and Rasheed have two sons, one of whom resides in America and the other lives in the flat next door. Rasheed has a property dealing business.

They have registered an FIR under Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
