The Nagpada Police yesterday arrested Mohammed Munna Khan (38) and his wife Shenaz (35) for brutally murdering their daughter Mehnaz (18).
Gulnaz, the younger daughter, was also arrested for abetting the crime. The police had found Mehnaz’s dismembered body stuffed into a plastic sack on a road near the Byculla flyover on July 2.
Love affair
In their confession, the parents told the police that they murdered Menaz as she fell in love with a Hindu boy from the same locality.
An official from Nagpada police station said, “Fearing social stigma over their daughter’s affair, the duo decided to kill her and even convinced their younger daughter to join them in their brutal act.”
Could not be identified
He added, “Munna and Shenaz, who reside at a slum in Cuffe Parade, strangled Mehnaz to death. They then chopped off her head along with body parts and took it on a cycle to Byculla where they dumped it. The body was We took several hours just to find out it was a girl.”
The police stumbled upon the duo after seeing the manufacturers name and address on the bag.
“We found out that it was supplied to Munna’s shop in Cuffe Parade. We also came to know that one of their daughters was missing.
After interrogating Munna and Shenaz, they revealed the truth,” said Senior Police Inspector Ashok Durafe. The three will be produced in Mazgaon court today.
I just googled religions of India. According to Yahoo travel
India — Religion: 80% Hindu, 14% Muslim, 2.4% Christian, 2% Sikh, 0.7% Buddhist, 0.5% Jains, 0.4% other
I think it was "When Muslims love their children more than they hate the Jews, then there will be peace." Golda Meir?
I couldn't find where the article says they were Muslims. Most Indians are Hindu.
Here's the clue: The Nagpada Police yesterday arrested Mohammed Munna Khan (38) and his wife Shenaz...
The other clue is that the daughter's crime was falling in love with a young Hindu man.
Oh, I agree with you. Still, I cannot imagine the hate of the religion of peace. Sure,Christian fanatics go off sometimes but few and far between.
Yes, they love to chop people up piece by piece.
Thank you. I was going to say just that but feared the backlash. These folks don't like to have anyone point out when they are wrong.
I couldn't either. However:
* There are a large number of Muslims in India.
* Mohammad is hardly an Hindu name.
* Hindus don't typically chop off the head of a girl for dating a Hindu boy.
* The religious and ethnic background was not stated, which guarantees they were not white or Christian.
Are we able to confirm? Or are we guessing? Not that it makes a whit of difference. From one end of the spectrum to the other, the religions of that part of the world are all about the same.
I didn't have to read any further to know what it was about.
If you happen to know they are not Muslims, then say so. Until then, why do you assume the unlikely?
<sarcasm>Yep, Gandhi and Mohamed are pretty much the same.</sarcasm>
"These folks don't like to have anyone point out when they are wrong."
You mean they are all wrong?
The one in the article is a Hindu?
Thank goodness the 18-year-old girl will no longer be an embarrassment to her murdering parents.
As an Indian Hindu, it is easy to distinguish people of different religions for me. The names make it very clear that these people are Muslim.
In future, for a hint of which religion people belong to, especially in India any non Christian sounding name with "f" or "z" in it is generally Muslim. The originated from-sanskrit languages of India don't have these sounds/alphabets in them. Of course there are exceptions on both sides of this "rule".
The killer's name is Mohammed. That's usually short for "other than Baptist".
Cheers!
I don't think it's necessarily quite so subtle. That first name of Mohammed is a pretty solid clue.
