Fahin was found dead in suspicious circumstances as marks were seen around the neck resulting her family blaming Manihar for her murder.

Fahin Khan's cousin Shahid Khan said, "The suspicious marks around her throat were causing doubts due to which I called the police. Fahin was not sick nor she had any kind of illness. How come she suddenly died this way? When she died, instead of informing her parents, her husband Imam Manihar was in a hurry to get a death certificate."

Fahin Khan's sister said that Manihar used to assault her and not give her to eat. She used to allegedly take food parcel from her mother's house daily.

The body was sent for autopsy at Bhagwati hospital in Borivli where it was confirmed that Fahin was murdered. The police then arrested her husband Imam and during interrogation, he said that he killed Fahin over an extra-marital affair.
