"After the crime, Khan locked the door of the house and left the building. He then called one of his friends, Shafiq, and told him that he had killed Khatoon and disconnected the phone," said an official investigating the case. Shafiq immediately informed the cops, who rushed to the scene of the crime. The woman’s body was found on the bed.
"We questioned a few neighbours who told us that the two had been married for a year. They did not know what Khan did for a living, but told us that Khatoon was a bar girl," said the official.
