The Kengeri police have cracked a recent case where the severely charred body of a woman was found in a deserted place in Visvesvaraya Layout.
Given the crime scene and that liquor bottles were found near the body, the police had initially suspected that the woman may have been sexually assaulted and killed. However, it has now turned out that she was murdered allegedly by her husband.
Searching for missing persons in the vicinity, the police identified the deceased as Nagina Khanum, a resident of Kengeri. Tracking down her family, the police got leads that Nagina Khanum was allegedly being harassed by her husband Mohammed Rafeeq, 29, a JCB driver, who had gone missing ever since Nagina Khanum had gone missing too.
