To elope, woman kills friend to fake own death; gets life term

Tuesday, 2 January 2024
The court of additional district and sessions judge Pawan Shukla in Meerut sentenced a woman, Afshana Begum (32) to life imprisonment for killing her neighbour, Zeenat Begum, by setting her on fire to show herself as dead so that she could elope with her lover of another faith. A testimony by Zeenat's 13-year-old daughter nailed the convict, said the additional district government counsel (ADGC) Mukesh Kumar Mittal. The ADGC said on Tuesday that the crime came to light on April 2, 2019, when 48-year-old Zeenat was found dead inside a house in Lisari Gate police station area of Meerut.
