His family, particularly his wife and children, disapproved of the affair and pressured him to end it," the DCP said. On Friday, Mukeem called Shabnam to the rented room around 3 pm and killed her with a knife, police said. Another senior officer said Shabnam had been living separately from her husband, Shabuddin, for the past eight years. "Both Shabuddin and Mukeem are relatives. After separating from her husband, Shabnam began a romantic relationship with Mukeem. As his children grew older, they objected to the relationship, leading to tensions. Mukeem recently took a carpentry contract in Nirman Vihar and rented a room nearby, where he planned and executed the murder," officer said.
