However, the marriage became sour, and Shaheenz returned to his parents’ home two months ago, raised tension between Mustafa and Suleman.
According to the police, Mustafa allegedly made an derogatory call to Suleman on Wednesday night. In response, Suleman, with his sons Riyab and Siab, went to Mustafa’s house in Valachil to resolve the matter. While the sons waited outside, Suleman spoke briefly before returning to Mustafa, showing that the discussion had failed.
