Key Questions Answered
The 45-year-old father, Sharif Raza Hussain Khan, wanted to remarry after his wife passed away from cancer in November 2025, but his daughters vehemently opposed the marriage. Angered by this opposition, he decided to eliminate them, starting with his eldest daughter, Rifat.
On the night of October 2, Sharif fed his daughter Rifat chicken biryani mixed with poison. Once she became unconscious, he strangled her to death and later fabricated a story that she had died of food poisoning.
Due to the father's suspicious behavior, doctors at KEM Hospital sent Rifat's body for a post-mortem examination, which revealed strangulation marks and asphyxiation as the cause of death. Following this forensic finding, the Wadala police arrested the accused father.
