“Love vs Honour”: Karkala Mother Strangles Teen Daughter Over Affair!
Karkala, Karnataka – In a shocking case of family violence, a mother has been arrested for murdering her 17-year-old daughter after she expressed her intention to leave home for love.
The deceased has been identified as Shifanaz (17), daughter of Sheikh Mustafa (51), a resident of Hirgana village in Karkala taluk. The accused, Gulzar Banu (45), strangled her daughter to death on September 20 after a heated argument over her relationship with a youth named Mohammed Saleem.
