According to reports, their neighbour, Shamsuddin, has made serious allegations and claimed that Aqeel’s wife and father had an “illicit relationship,” in which Razia Sultana was also involved.
Shamsuddin reportedly filed a complaint with the Panchkula Police Commissioner, based on which the Panchkula MDC Police Station has now registered a case against Mohammad Mustafa, his wife and former minister Razia Sultana, their daughter, and daughter-in-law in connection with Aqeel Akhtar’s death.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been constituted by the police to investigate the case.
Aqeel Akhtar’s Death
According to a report by The Indian Express, Aqeel Akhtar, an advocate at the Punjab and Haryana High Court, was found dead at his residence on October 16. He was a resident of Sector 4, MDC, Panchkula.
An FIR under Sections 103(1) (punishment for murder) and 61 (criminal conspiracy) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was lodged at the MDC Police Station in Panchkula against Mustafa, Sultana, Akhtar’s wife, and his sister on October 20, four days after the murder.
According to Srishti Gupta, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Panchkula, cited in the report, Akhtar’s family members informed the police when his body was found at his residence and statements were recorded.
The report added, citing the DCP, that since no foul play was suspected initially, a post-mortem examination was conducted and the body was handed over to the family for the funeral procession.
Subsequently, “certain social media posts and videos surfaced, purportedly made by the deceased prior to his death, alleging personal disputes and apprehensions about threats to his life,” DCP Gupta is quoted as saying in the report.
Police stated that, on October 17, a complaint was received from Shamsuddin of Malerkotla, Punjab, alleging conspiracy in the incident.
The report said that the family found Akhtar at his Sector 4 MDC residence in an unconscious state and that he was immediately rushed to Civil Hospital, Sector 6, but doctors declared him brought dead.
Akhtar’s funeral procession was held at his ancestral village, Harda Kheri, in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur district.
The viscera samples have been sent to the forensic department to identify the substance consumed by the deceased, the report said, citing police. However, it noted that the report is expected to take two to three months.
