Motive
Parvez and Rehmat hail from Motihari district in Bihar. They fell in love a few years back and eloped and got married in Delhi in June last year. They came Mumbai and rented a flat at Prakash complex, Santosh Nagar, Mumbra.
A few months later, Rehmat found out that Parvez was already married and his first wife stayed in the same area. This led to daily quarrels between the couple and Parvez decided to kill Rehmat.
He and his brothers murdered her on March 14 and Tabrez and Hashim left the suitcase in the lugagge compartment of an Amebernath-bound train at Mumbra station.
