Mother alleges foul play

Javir's mother has raised suspicions about the circumstances surrounding her son's death, alleging that people connected to the woman from Kakatpur may have been involved.

“I had repeatedly told him to break up with the girl from Kakatpur. But he told me that he could not leave her. Then I told him to keep her as his second wife,” she said.

She further claimed that Javir's wife had previously sent photographs of him with the woman to the latter's brother, asking him to intervene in their relationship.

“Javir's wife had sent photographs of him with his girlfriend to the girl's brother. She had asked him to keep his sister in check. I suspect they killed my son in anger,” his mother alleged.

On receiving information, Kataka Sadar Police reached the spot, recovered the body and sent it for post-mortem examination.

Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding Javir's death, including the reported family dispute, the phone call he received shortly before leaving home and other possible factors.
