Actor Huma Qureshi’s brother, Asif Qureshi, was killed following a violent altercation over a parking issue outside his home in Delhi’s Nizamuddin area on Thursday night. Police confirmed the arrest of two individuals in connection with the murder and said the weapon used in the crime has been recovered.
According to the family, the incident occurred around 9:30–10:00 pm, when Asif asked two men to move their scooter, which was parked in front of the entrance to his house. “My husband, Asif, requested him to move the vehicle away. The man abused Asif and threatened to come back,” said Shaheen Asif Qureshi, Asif’s wife.
Minutes later, the same individuals returned. “Within minutes the man, along with his brother, came and stabbed Asif with a sharp weapon,” Shaheen added. “I called Javed, my brother-in-law, but by the time he reached, Asif had lost a lot of blood and died.”
