A man strangled 28 year old daughter with dupatta while sleeping as he was unhappy with her divorce in Dasna on Sunday. According to the authorities, Rukhsar moved back into her parent’s home on July 12 following her divorce and has been residing there ever since. She got into a heated confrontation with her father, Ahmad Ali, on Saturday night because he blamed her for the divorce. Around 4 am, Ahmad allegedly went to his daughter’s room, opened the cupboard, and used a dupatta to choke her to death. Then he left the home.

Rukhsar allegedly had a nine-year marriage to a Masuri resident, according to the police. The couple did not have any children which often became the seed of arguments between them. According to the authorities, her spouse also charged her of having an extramarital affair. Recently, they made the decision to part ways.

Rukhsar had reportedly locked herself in a room after going back to her parents’ house in Dasna because she was depressed. She hardly ever spoke to anyone in the house or ate anything. Her uncle tried to make her feel better by taking her to his place a few days ago, but it didn’t work.

Ahmad accused Rukhsar of maligning the family. His wife said, “It turned into a heated argument, and they returned to their rooms to sleep. Through the night, Ahmad kept tossing and turning in the bed and when everyone in the house was in deep sleep around 4 am, he tiptoed to Rukhsar’s room. He found a dupatta, strangled her with it and fled the house,” the officer said.

An hour later, Rukhsar’s mother woke and she went inside her daughter’s room to see her she found Rukhsar lying still. The complaint was filed by brother of the 28-year-old woman.

According to Saloni Aggarwal, ACP (Wave City), FIR was lodged against Ahmad under Section 302 (murder) of the IPC. To arrest him, two squads have been formed and We are also reviewing CCTV footage,” she added.
