According to a report by The News Minute, Shahida is three months pregnant, and is a teacher in a local madrasa, while her husband Sulaiman works as a driver. As per the report, Shahida’s husband was sleeping in the adjoining room along with their two other kids when Shahida killed Aamil. According to some of their neighbours, Shahida had taken the local police station’s phone number from one of them a day before the incident.
“What is mentioned in the FIR is what the mother told the police control room. Only after a thorough investigation can we conclude whether that was indeed the reason or whether there are other reasons,” Palakkad SP, Viswanadh R said as per the report.
