A murder investigation in Bihar’s Kishanganj has taken a dramatic turn after police arrested a woman and her alleged boyfriend for the killing of her husband, who had recently returned from Kuwait. Investigators claim that what initially appeared to be a robbery gone wrong was, in fact, a carefully planned murder allegedly motivated by an extramarital relationship.
The victim, identified as 42-year-old Rizwan Alam, had been working in Kuwait for several years to support his family. According to the police investigation, his wife, 33-year-old Daisy Parveen, allegedly developed a relationship with 24-year-old Anwar Hussain during her husband’s prolonged stay abroad. Authorities believe the relationship continued for years while Rizwan remained overseas.
Police said the case first came to light after Rizwan was found dead at his residence. In the immediate aftermath of the incident, family members and local residents were told that unidentified intruders had entered the house and killed him during an attempted robbery. The version appeared plausible at first, especially as the family claimed the victim had resisted the attackers.
However, investigators soon began noticing inconsistencies in the statements and physical evidence collected from the crime scene. According to officials, the sequence of events described by the family did not match the forensic findings or other evidence gathered during the investigation. As detectives continued questioning those close to the victim, suspicion gradually shifted away from the robbery theory.
During the investigation, police allegedly uncovered evidence pointing toward a conspiracy involving Rizwan’s wife and her alleged lover. Investigators believe the two planned the murder after Rizwan returned from Kuwait, fearing that his presence could expose or disrupt their relationship. Authorities say both suspects have now been arrested and are being questioned as the investigation continues.
One of the most widely discussed aspects of the case has been a video recorded shortly after the murder. The footage, which has since circulated widely on social media, shows Daisy Parveen crying beside her husband’s body and mourning his death. Following her arrest, the same video has attracted significant public attention, with many viewers expressing surprise over the contrast between her apparent grief and the allegations now made by investigators. Police, however, have not treated the viral video itself as evidence of guilt, and the investigation is based on material collected during the inquiry.
Investigators are now working to establish the complete sequence of events leading to the murder. They are examining digital communication records, witness statements, forensic evidence and other material that could help determine the exact planning and execution of the alleged crime. Officials have not publicly disclosed every piece of evidence, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation.
The case has also renewed public discussion about crimes involving spouses and alleged extramarital relationships. While such incidents remain relatively uncommon, investigators across India have, in recent years, handled several high-profile cases in which family disputes or alleged romantic relationships have emerged as possible motives behind violent crimes. Criminal experts often caution against drawing broad conclusions from individual cases, noting that every investigation depends on its own evidence and circumstances.
The Kishanganj case has also drawn comparisons with another incident reported earlier this year. In March, another man who had returned from working abroad, Ahsan Raza, was allegedly murdered while travelling to his in-laws’ home. Police arrested his wife, Samreen Taj, and her alleged boyfriend in that case, alleging that the killing had been planned in advance. While the two investigations are unrelated, both have attracted public attention because they involve men who had recently returned from overseas employment before being killed.
The latest arrests in Kishanganj have once again highlighted the challenges faced by investigators when crimes are initially presented as robberies or accidental incidents. Police officials maintain that careful examination of evidence, witness accounts and forensic findings remains essential before determining the actual motive behind any suspicious death.
The accused in the Kishanganj case remain under arrest, and further legal proceedings will depend on the evidence presented before the court. Under Indian law, every accused person is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Investigators have indicated that additional findings may emerge as the inquiry progresses and forensic analysis is completed.
