Bulandshahr: The Centre has finally stepped in the Bulandshahr honour killing case of 28-year-old Abdul Hakim following a request by Bollywood actor Amir Khan. UP Police have so far arrested three accused in the case. Officials claim that the third person arrested has been identified as Gullu while three other accused are still absconding. Abdul's wife Mehwish has claimed that she has been receiving death threats after which the National Commission for Women asked the Uttar Pradesh administration to provide security to her.
Police say that soon they would arrest rest of the accused. The accused Gullu was working in the same hotel where Abdul had been murdered. Sources say that Gullu masterminded Abdul's murder.
Abdul wife has alleged that her family was behind the murder. Earlier she said that she feared for her life. "They have killed my husband, they will kill me now. I am 9 months pregnant. My husband would have been alive if police protection was provided," Mehwish, said. The police, however, dismissed her theory saying it was the outcome of a personal feud.
The couple were participants in Aamir Khan's television show Satyamav Jayate's episode on honour killing. On Monday, the Bollywood actor expressed his grief and said, "Disturbing and unfortunate incident. Will speak to the government authorities in UP to help and ensure the family is safe. The culprits must be brought to the book. The case is registered on the basis of right facts."
