Daughter Afreen had told the police that late on the night of 28 November, her mother Rani alias Sahana had got up to use the toilet. During this time, Shamshad and Rani had a dispute regarding their stay in Delhi. During the dispute, Shamshad first kicked and punched his wife Rani.
After this he pressed both the hands of his wife with his feet. After this, he held his hair with one hand and killed him by slitting his throat with a paper cutter kept in the house. During this, Afreen tried to shout and go out. Shamshad had fled from the spot after threatening Afrin.
After the incident, Afreen reached the house of Rani's brother Guddu, who lives in the neighbourhood, late at night and informed about the incident. After this Guddu informed the police. Based on Guddu's complaint, the police had filed a report against Shamshad.
