During the course of investigation it was found that some three months before Gulshana committed suicide after her husband and father in law came to know about her alleged affair with one Riyaz Ahmad Dar brother of deceased Feroz. Thereafter Fayaz Khan husband of the lady decided to take revenge but however could not eliminate Riyaz as he considered it difficult to kill him. Therefore, as per his confession he decided to kill his brother Feroz who was a bus conductor by profession and an easy target. He hired the services of Mushtaq and Tawseef
