Sakib had lodged a complaint with the Santacruz police station, suspecting that his wife and her family members were involved in Rukhsana’s murder. Police have recovered the body, and the deceased woman’s family members have left for Mumbai.
According to Zafaruddin, Rukhsana’s uncle and a resident of Sadakpur village, Sakib and Rukhsana had been involved in a love affair in the village around six years ago. When their families learned about the relationship, Rukhsana was married to a man from Ravana village in the Kanth police station area of Moradabad. Sakib also got married later and moved to Mumbai, where he began working as an auto-rickshaw driver.
In July, both returned to their respective homes. They reportedly spoke to each other during this period before eloping together. Rukhsana has three children, while Sakib has two.
Zafaruddin said Sakib had called the village a few days ago to inform the family that Rukhsana was missing. On September 26, Sakib went out to drive his auto-rickshaw. When he returned home at night, Rukhsana was nowhere to be found.
Sakib’s wife, Shahrin, had also come to stay there. A few days earlier, she had called her father, Sartaj, her brother, Sameer, and her mother, Farzana, to Mumbai.
Suspecting these family members of involvement in Rukhsana’s disappearance and murder, Sakib submitted a written complaint at the Santacruz police station in Mumbai. On Sunday, police recovered Rukhsana’s body from a garbage dump in the Bandra area.
Following the recovery, Rukhsana’s family members left for Mumbai. The recovery of the body has brought the case into focus, with Sakib’s allegations against his wife and in-laws forming a key part of the complaint.
