Teacher's Brutal Murder: Husband Arrested After 3000km Chase
3 Oct
Summary
- Husband arrested in Jaipur after a month-long chase covering 3,000 km.
- Victim's death initially reported as acid consumption, later revealed as assault.
- Younger daughter's testimony crucial in reconstructing the events leading to death.
Khargone police have apprehended a husband accused of torturing and killing his wife following an extensive chase that covered over 3,000 kilometers and spanned five states. The accused, Naeem Khan Fateh, was arrested in Jaipur, Rajasthan, by a joint police team. This arrest concluded a month-long investigation initiated on August 15, when the victim, Neelofar, was reported to have died after consuming acid. Naeem Khan allegedly buried her body without a postmortem, a move police now believe was intended to conceal the circumstances of her death.
Neelofar's brother expressed suspicion, prompting police to exhume the body for a postmortem. The examination revealed evidence of physical assault and prolonged harassment, indicating she died from injuries sustained from an alleged assault. Investigations uncovered that Naeem Khan suspected his wife of an affair and subjected her to severe torture, including an assault on her spleen and cigarette burns. The couple's younger daughter reportedly provided crucial details that helped investigators piece together the events. Naeem Khan had previously been involved in six cases registered in Khargone and Gogawan.
