Record has shown that the Mulund couple, who beat a 69-year-old cook to death for allegedly molesting their daughter, had lied about the police response to their call to the control room. Police on Tuesday said that the husband turned the cops away saying the matter was resolved.

The couple, who were arrested on Monday, had claimed that no officer showed up after they called the police control room to file a complaint against Abdul Khalil Sheikh. Police, however, said that when officers went to their home, the father refused to file a complaint and turned them away. And all this while, the man was tied up in a room.
