In Delhi's Madanpur Khadar area, an 18-year-old Muslim woman, Nisha Parveen, allegedly lost her life at the hands of her husband, Ankit. According to her family, Ankit had brought four of his associates with him, and they allege that all of them physically assaulted her.
Police have arrested the main accused, Nisha's husband Ankit, in connection with the case. However, family members claim that four to five individuals were involved in the assault and have raised questions over the arrest of only one accused so far.
Nisha's brother alleged that the police registered the FIR only after the family staged a protest by placing her body on the road outside Kalindi Kunj police station. He further claimed that had the girl been Hindu and the boy Muslim, the authorities would have acted more swiftly, alleging that an encounter might have taken place and demolition action would have already been initiated.
