Muslim father cuts minor daughter into 6 pieces over suspicion of her loving a Hindu youth

• Three accused, including the father, arrested

• Two elder daughters already married to Hindu youths

Lucknow (UP) – A shocking incident has come to light in which a Muslim man named Biggan Ansari murdered his own minor daughter on suspicion that she was in love with a Hindu youth. The Police solved the case on the basis of a torso found inside a trunk in a train at Gomti Nagar railway station in Lucknow. The deceased was identified as a 15-year-old Muslim girl named Shabba. Shabba was murdered by her father Biggan Ansari with the assistance of his sister and brother-in-law. The Police have arrested all three accused from Kushinagar.

1. According to the information received, father Biggan Ansari suspected that his youngest daughter was in a relationship with a Hindu youth. His two elder daughters had already married Hindu youths. He was unwilling to accept that his third daughter might do the same.

2. Biggan, along with his sister Noor Jahan and brother-in-law Mojibulla, conspired to murder the girl. They killed her and cut her body into six pieces.

3. In order to prevent identification, they severed the girl’s head and threw it into a pond, while her hands, legs, and torso were packed into a trunk and left inside a compartment of the ‘Chhapra-Gomtinagar Express’.

4. CCTV footage from Tamkuhi Road railway station reportedly showed the three accused carrying the trunk. When the Police detained and questioned Ansari, he confessed to the crime. The Police have also recovered the severed head from the pond and the weapon used in the murder. Further investigation is underway.

Editorial Perspective

The culmination of religious fanaticism in the murder of one’s own daughter and dismemberment of her body into six pieces is horrifying. Such incidents indicate the extent of hatred instilled against Hindus among Muslims. Therefore, at least now, the Government should dismantle systems that preach and promote such hatred!
