Huma Qureshi's cousin killed by teenagers over a parking issue in Delhi

Huma Qureshi Cousin Murder News: Actor Huma Qureshi' cousin, Asif, was allegedly murdered by two teenagers in Delhi's Nizamuddin late on Thursday night amid a heated parking dispute, as per TV reports.

According to TOI report, an argument broke out between Asif and a few men over a parked two-wheeler outside the gate of a house. It soon turned violent.

Asif, was a resident of Church Lane in Bhogal and sustained a serious injury to his chest after being attacked with a pointed object during a heated altercation.


The incident was captured on CCTV, with the clip surfaces on social media. It shows the two men pushing and shoving Asif. They then dragged and attacked the victim, amid loud cries of help from people nearby.

According to the police, the incident took place around 10.30 pm when Asif confronted a man for parking a scooter in front of his house.

The confrontation quickly escalated and Asif was allegedly attacked with a "poker-type" weapon, inflicting a deep wound in his chest.

Police said the victim collapsed at the spot and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival.

A case was registered at Hazrat Nizamuddin police station.

Ujjwal (19) and Gautam (18) are residents of the same locality and have been arrested for the murder.

"Further investigation is underway to ascertain the sequence of events and the role of each accused in the assault," said an officer.

The body of the deceased has been sent for post-mortem.

'Asif's murder was premeditated'

Asif's wife, Shaheen Asif Qureshi, alleged that the murder was premeditated and that her husband had been attacked by the same people in the past.

"The dispute started after a youth parked a scooter near our gate, blocking the entrance. When my husband requested him to move it a little, the youth allegedly began hurling abuses," she said.

He said he would move the scooter, but instead he returned with more people and started abusing him, Shaheen said.

"Ujjwal suddenly attacked him in the chest. He fell down instantly, covered in blood. I tried to save him, but I was pushed away. Then some more people, who live with them, also attacked and abused him," she said.

According to Shaheen, her husband had been previously assaulted by the same group in November last year.

"They were jealous of him. They had made an issue out of nothing. If it were just about the scooter, they could have moved it. But they stabbed him in the chest with a sharp object. This was not a sudden fight. They did it on purpose," she alleged.

She said her husband worked as a chicken supplier and rarely interacted with those involved in the killing or their family.

"We never talked to them. We used to sit in our own group in the neighbourhood. They had treated him as an enemy without any reason," she alleged.

Shaheen also mentioned that after the attack, she immediately called her brother-in-law and rushed Asif to the hospital. However, the doctors there declared him dead on arrival.

Asif's uncle and father of Huma Qureshi, Saleem Qureshi said he was at his home when he received the call.

"Asif had only asked the boy to move the scooter a little further so that the gate wouldn't be blocked. But they turned it into a matter of ego and killed him," he said.

"No one came when the murder happened. The police arrived later and started the investigation," he said.

"It is a murder over a small issue. It shows how fragile tempers have become in our society. People are getting killed for the most petty reasons," he said, adding that the accused must get strict punishment and justice for the family.

Police said they are examining CCTV footage and speaking to local residents to reconstruct the sequence of events. Senior officers visited the crime scene and questioned the neighbours and family members.

"Efforts are being made to establish the motive and verify claims of previous hostility between the families," another senior police officer said.
