During questioning, Farooq admitted to the crime and told the police he buried the bodies at home. A large police team, including Superintendent of Police NP Singh, quickly arrived at the scene and recovered the three bodies from the pit.
Investigations revealed that an argument had sparked when Farooq’s wife asked him for money. In anger, she left for her parents’ house without wearing a burqa. This made Farooq feel his “honour had been compromised,” as per the police. A month later, he brought his wife back home and killed her and their daughters. He then dug a pit in their home and buried the bodies.
