Moradabad Couple Stabbed to Death at Home as Two Held in House Dispute Case

Police link the attack to a pending house registry after an extra payment demand.

Overview

  • Police arrested the main accused, Faheem, and later caught a second suspect who they say admitted involvement after an encounter that left him shot in the leg.
  • A group allegedly forced their way into the couple's home and stabbed Raja and Farah as their three young children looked on.
  • Investigators say the dispute centered on a one-room house priced at ₹2.24 lakh, with ₹2 lakh already paid and the registry stalled after a demand for ₹40,000 instead of the ₹24,000 balance.
  • Officers registered a case naming five people and one unidentified person, sent the bodies for post-mortem, and brought in forensic teams to gather evidence.
  • Police say searches are underway for the remaining suspects as they develop the property-dispute motive and review evidence recovered in the arrests.
