Ahmedabad Woman Allegedly Killed by Father and Brother in Staged Accident Case
A 22-year-old woman named Sofia Farooq from Ahmedabad was allegedly killed by her father and brother in an honour killing after a video of her with a male friend went viral. Initially reported as a hit-and-run accident on August 12, police investigations revealed inconsistencies and CCTV footage disproved the accident claim. Authorities allege the father and brother planned the murder, attacking Sofia with a hammer near Gheljipura village, then staged the scene to mislead police. Both accused are in custody facing murder charges.
