Man who appeared on Aamir’s khap show shot, wife says it’s honour killing

In his FIR, Yusuf has named Salman Iqbal, Gullu, Malik, Asif and Sarvar. The latter two are Mahwish's relatives. "Mahwish's family, the landlords of our village of Adholi, were always against the marriage. They had even issued a fatwa for their deaths," alleged Yusuf.

But the police have denied charges of an honour killing. "So far, we believe it was a personal enmity between Hakim and Salman Iqbal. Investigations show that Hakim had misbehaved with Salman's mother on Saturday, after which Salman shot Hakim," said SSP Gulab Singh.

"This was an issue between two people from the same village, between Salman and Hakim. The couple have been living here for four months without any such incident," he said, adding that while Asif has been arrested, the others would soon be nabbed.

"Salman Iqbal and two others had threatened my husband's cousin last year, seeking our whereabouts. We had filed a case against him. On November 24, Salman warned my husband to take back the case or face death," alleged Mahwish.

Since Sunday night, Mahwish has been on TV shows, speaking to the media. "She has collapsed from exhaustion a few times but refuses to quit. She wants justice and will not stop for anything," said Yusuf.

Mahwish said the police had promised them protection. "That is why we decided to come back to the village. We had even applied for police protection but none was given. They have given us guards now, but it is too late," she said. Mahwish, wife of Abdul Hakim, who killed in an alledged honour killing at village Badhgarhi in Bulandshehar
