Ahmed strangled Naina ‘for staying busy with phone’
Irked over his wife’s excessive use of Facebook, a 26-year-old man strangled his wife to death and threw her body at an isolated place near Jaipur-Delhi National Highway. Police said the woman, identified as Naina Manglani (22), alias Reshma, had over 6,000 followers on her Facebook page and was very active. This did not go down well with her husband who resented the way she was constantly hooked on Facebook and ignoring the family.
The accused identified as Ayaz Ahmed Ansari, a resident of Kho Nagaurian area, who works in a finance company, was arrested for the murder by the Jaipur Police on Monday.
Ansari reportedly told police that Naina would stay busy with her phone all the time and he was suspicious that she might be having an extra-marital affair. The excessive use of FB by her led to marital discord and frequent quarrels. Their relationship had reached the breaking point as they had started living separately, said a police official privy to the probe, adding that Naina had even threatened Ayaz that she would seek divorce from him.
A senior police official said deeply upset, Ayaz hatched a plan to kill her and asked Naina to come to Ramgarh Mod on Sunday and convinced her that he wanted to sort out differences with her. Naina believed his words and went to meet him at the designated place.
“He made her consume beer and after that they went to Amer hills on a scooty. There he strangled her to death and smashed her face and head with a stone. After committing the crime, Ayaz went to his uncle’s house. The body of Naina was recovered on Monday and police arrested Ayaz within a few hours,” said a senior police official.
“Naina and Ayaz had met two years ago and their friendship blossomed and it soon turned into an affair. Since both were from different religions, they solemnised their marriage twice as per Hindu and Muslim rituals. Their family members didn’t give their consent to their relationship. They had eloped from their homes and tied the nuptial knot in Ghaziabad in October, 2017,” said the police official, adding that the couple had a three-month-old son.
