Brutal Murder Uncovered in Delhi's Wazirabad
A shocking case of murder disguised as a fire accident has been uncovered in Delhi's Wazirabad area, leading to the arrest of the victim's pregnant daughter-in-law. The incident, which occurred on November 19, 2025, involved the brutal killing of 58-year-old Nasrin, whose death was initially made to appear as a tragic fire mishap.
Suspicious Fire Leads to Murder Investigation
The case came to light when the Wazirabad police station received a PCR call about a house fire on November 19. According to police officials, the fire was reported on the first floor of the residence, where responders found Nasrin with severe burn injuries. She was immediately rushed to the hospital but was declared dead upon arrival.
The initial appearance of a fire accident quickly turned suspicious during investigation. The house, a ground plus two-floor accommodation, was home to Nasrin and her family members. At the time of the incident, only Nasrin and her daughter-in-law Afarin were present in the house, while other family members were away at work.
Inconsistent Statements and Forensic Evidence
Police investigation revealed significant inconsistencies in Afarin's statements. The pregnant daughter-in-law initially claimed that three to four unidentified boys had assaulted her and stolen her jewelry. However, her story changed dramatically during subsequent questioning when she allegedly confessed that Nasrin had been attacked with a hammer.
The crime team and Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) conducted a thorough inspection of the scene and made crucial discoveries. Investigators recovered a blood-stained hammer from the premises and detected a strong smell of kerosene throughout the house, indicating possible attempts to set the scene on fire after the murder.
Medical Evidence Confirms Violent Attack
The post-mortem examination provided conclusive evidence that contradicted the initial fire accident theory. Medical examination revealed multiple head injuries on Nasrin's body, which the examining doctor confirmed could have been caused by the recovered hammer. This finding directly pointed to a violent physical assault preceding the fire.
Based on the collected evidence and medical reports, police have registered an FIR under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and arrested Afarin, the victim's daughter-in-law. The investigation continues as authorities work to establish the complete sequence of events and motive behind this brutal crime.
The case has sent shockwaves through the Wazirabad community, highlighting the importance of thorough police investigation in what initially appeared to be accidental deaths. Delhi police have emphasized their commitment to ensuring justice in this disturbing case of domestic violence and attempted cover-up.
