The deceased man, Abdullah (38), was the maternal brother of the accused. Safeer was allegedly in an extra-marital relationship with Abdullah’s wife, police said. Abdullah was staying at a rented accommodation in Shaheed Nagar colony for the last 7 years with his wife, three daughters and a son.
A few days ago Abdullah had an altercation with his wife and he objected to her meetings with his cousin Safeer. Abdullah sent his wife and their three kids to his native place Jalalpur village of Bulandshahar district, Senior Superintendent of Police Kalanidhi Naithani told PTI.
Enraged over the issue, Safeer planned to kill his cousin, the SSP said.
