Vahajoodin was upset,as his illicit relationship with the victim had turned sour,Mohali SSP Gurpreet Singh Bhullar told Newsline. The victim,Naseema,was around 40 years old and lived in Sector 56,Chandigarh. The accused is in his mid-forties and has a bakery shop in Maloya,Sector 39. He is a native of Bijnaur district in Uttar Pradesh. SP (detective) Varinder Paul Singh,who led a special investigation team that solved the case in less than a week,said they were in a relationship for around three to four years. Under the garb of treating each other as siblings,the couple developed an illicit relationship, the SP said. But after Vahajoodin came to know that Naseema had relationships with other men and refused to break ties with them despite his repeated insistence,he decided to kill her. On Monday evening,Vahajoodin and Naseema met as usual and went to Zirakpur before coming to Barmajra village,where Naseema had purchased a piece of land. Vahajoodin once again insisted that Naseema should snap ties with other men. But she got angry,leading to a verbal duel, Singh said. Then he drugged her with some intoxicant and hit her head and face with a big stone. Later,Vahajoodin allegedly poured acid on Naseemas face and other body parts to destroy evidence. Singh said Vahajoodin was also under pressure from his wife to end ties with Naseema,who used to regularly visit their house. After the murder,the accused was at the forefront of Naseemas last rites. He even accompanied the grieving family members to Uttar Pradesh,where the deceased was cremated on Wednesday. During interrogation,he broke down and confessed to the murder, the SP said. Naseemas mobile phone and his blood-stained shirt have been recovered Vahajoodins possession,the police said.

While tracking the call details and location of Naseemas mobile phone,the investigators found that she had exchanged maximum calls with the accused on Monday evening. Till around 9.30 pm,when Naseema was killed,their mobile phones were at the same location,the police said.
