Delhi: In a typical case of love and hate, a 19-year-old woman allegedly killed her own sister as she had fallen in love with her brother in-law.

Shabnam, a resident of Okhla killed her sister Zulfikar as she believed that Zulfikar stopped her husband Kamal from getting linked to any other woman. On Monday night, when Kamal was not at home, Shabnam killed her sister by hammering her head four times.

According to the police, initial investigations had revealed that Shabnam had been staying with her sister and her brother in-law for the last three years at the VP Singh camp area in Okhla.
During her stay she had developed feelings for her Kamal but was troubled by the presence of her sister Zulfikar.

Scuffle

"On Tuesday night, the two had a scuffle in the house, when Kamal was not around. In a fit of rage Shabnam then hammered her elder sister, which resulted in the death of Zulfikar. When we rushed to the spot we caught her red handed and she confessed to her crime," said a police officer.

The police had initially picked up Kamal believing that he had also conspired to kill his wife with Shabnam but was released later after questioning.

Another incident

In another incident, a 65-year-old man was killed at his residence in Okhla Vihar, Jamia Nagar after he had tied his goat near the house of another resident. The incident took place on Tuesday.

According to the police, Mohammed Abdul had tied his goat near the residence of his neighbour Mohammad Omar.

He had asked Abdul to remove the goat as it was tied in his compund.
