SP Narendra Pratap Singh said that a month ago, Farooq and his wife Tahira had an argument over money. The wife had alleged that the husband does not give money to the children and her expenses. Due to which she quarreled and went to her maternal home in Nara village of Muzaffarnagar without wearing burqa.
The accused admitted during interrogation that he had kept his wife veiled since marriage. She never came out of the house without wearing a burqa. Her honor was tarnished by her wearing the burqa. That’s why he killed his wife. After this both the girls were also killed.
