Mumbai, India – In a long-awaited verdict, a Mumbai court has found Parvez Tak guilty of the brutal murders of actor-model Laila Khan and five members of her family. Thirteen years have passed since the tragic events unfolded, resulting in the deaths of Laila Khan, her mother Shelina Patel, her two sisters Azmina and Zara Khan, her twin siblings Imran Khan, and their cousin Reshma Khan at their farmhouse in Igatpuri, Nashik district, in 2011.
The accused, Parvez Tak, originally from Jammu & Kashmir, has been linked to extremist group Lashkar-e-Taiba. Investigators revealed that Tak, who was Shelina Patel’s third husband, first killed Patel following a dispute over property at the Igatpuri residence. Subsequently, Tak eliminated the other family members to silence them as witnesses to his initial crime.
The heinous nature of the murders and the prolonged investigation process have kept the case in the public eye over the years. The court’s decision to convict Tak brings some closure to the tragedy that shocked the nation and left many questioning the motives behind such a horrific act of violence.
