When he learns that he has throat cancer, Mustakeem Ahmad, a 25-year-old Indian, kills Inayat, who works in the same restaurant as him in New Delhi. The reason: he would have made her smoke her first cigarettes and her first joints.
The diagnosis is made as the young cook sees his doctor for what he believes is a simple infection. The shock of the news soon gives way to anger against Inayat, his colleague of the same age. For Mustakeem, it is because of him that he would have started smoking.
Jealous of his professional success
But the cook’s illness would not be the only reason for his gesture. “Although they are friends at their workplace, Inayat was better than him, behaved well and quickly became the owner’s favorite,” said a police commissioner quoted by the Hindustan Times. The employer is however Mustakeem Ahmad’s brother-in-law.
Before committing the irreparable, the young man tried to dismiss his colleague. It is ultimately he who loses his job, which he no longer does correctly. He returns to his native village in Utar Pradesh. He then buys a weapon there, practices shooting and returns to the restaurant where he causes a fight during which he shoots Inayat. The man succumbs to his injuries in hospital.
The suspected murderer, who had fled, was found and arrested by the police at the home of a relative from whom he was trying to borrow money.
