NEW DELHI: Actress Huma Qureshi’s cousin Asif Qureshi (42) was murdered in a late night parking dispute on Thursday in the Jangpura area of Southeast Delhi, the police said.
The two accused identified as Ujjwal (19) and Gautam (18) have been arrested, they added.
The altercation started after one of the teenagers parked his scooter outside the entrance of the house. Asif asked them to park it somewhere else, which resulted in a heated exchange between them. During this, one of the accused attacked him with a sharp pointed object (poker) on his chest.
Qureshi was rushed to a nearby hospital, but succumbed to the injuries. He used to run a business of supplying chickens to restaurants.
Saleem Qureshi, father of Huma Qureshi, expressed shock over the death of his nephew. “Two men parked a scooter in front of the house. Asif asked them to move it aside and not block the entrance. They (accused) were two, together they killed my nephew,” he told reporters.
An FIR in this regard has been registered under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) which deals with murder.
