As per police sources, Imran had become suspicious that Muskan was speaking to someone else.
NEW DELHI: The man accused of murdering 21-year-old Muskan in west Delhi’s Tilak Nagar had been heavily dependent on drugs and was removed from a gym he frequented after allegedly attempting suicide at his rented accommodation, police said. Police are also investigating a meeting between the two at a hotel on 20 August, days before Muskan was killed. Imran had previously been involved in a 2021 case involving assault and culpable homicide, according to police.
Police said the two had been in a relationship, but Muskan’s family has denied this. Muskan was alone at home when she was attacked, police said. Her relatives had alleged that Imran had harassed her for several months and often followed her. Investigators are examining the circumstances of the meeting and what happened between them in the days leading up to the murder. Police apprehended Imran after launching a manhunt across three states.
Investigators also found that Imran, alias Aqib, had been sent to a drug de-addiction centre in July following a complaint by Muskan’s family.
