A 48-year-old former Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) councillor was stabbed to death, allegedly by his nephew over a trivial row in Tipunagar on Wednesday.
The deceased Ayub Khan, was a realtor and also the president of Khudadaad mosque for the last 15 years. Nazima Khanum, wife of Ayub Khan and the present councillor of K R market ward, in her complaint to the Chamarajpet police, alleged that Mateen, Ayub’s nephew, had been eyeing the president’s post and had been fighting with Ayub to make him the president.
Six months ago, Mateen had fought with Ayub and tried to attack him with a knife over the same issue. However, the matter was resolved and considering their relationship, Ayub did not file a complaint, she said.
