'Imran’s drug dependence, suicide bid, hotel meet': Skeletons out in Delhi model’s murder
The man accused of Muskan's murder was heavily dependent on drugs and removed from a gym. He was sent to a de-addiction center after Muskan's family complained of harassment. Police apprehended Imran after a manhunt and a late-night encounter where he sustained a gunshot injury. Investigators are examining a hotel meeting between the accused and the victim days before the murder.
NEW DELHI: Imran, known as Aqib and accused of killing 21-year-old Muskan, had a long history of drug addiction, which led to his removal from a gym where they both frequented. Following a complaint from Muskan's family, Imran was placed in a de-addiction center in July. The pair had allegedly been in a relationship, though Muskan's relatives dispute this claim.
Police are investigating a meeting between Imran and Muskan at a hotel on August 20, just days before Muskan's murder. It is still unclear what transpired during this meeting and in the days preceding the crime. Muskan was found unaccompanied at her residence when she was attacked. Imran had a prior case in 2021 for assault and culpable homicide, and during his arrest, he sustained a gunshot injury. He has been taken to the hospital for treatment.
