During interrogation, Shakeel confessed to the crime and said he murdered Akeel, who was engaged to his sister, after he developed an "intimate relationship" with his wife Gulista, police said.

Despite repeated warnings, Akeel started moving close towards Shakeel's wife and this forced him to take the extreme step, police quoted the accused as saying during interrogation.

Shakeel shot Akeel with a 12 bore country made pistol which he bought from his village. After the murder, Shakeel fled away to Gurgaon to his relative's house, they said.
