Varanasi Shock: Madrasa Teacher Bludgeoned and Stabbed to Death by His Wife After Years of Abuse!

VARANASI — A gruesome murder in Badshah Bagh Colony under the Sigra police station limits has left the city stunned. Forty-two-year-old Madrasa teacher, Danish Raza, was brutally murdered by his wife, Rubina Siddiqui, who confessed to killing him with an iron rod and a knife after enduring years of alleged domestic abuse.

According to police, the incident occurred on October 2, 2025, but came to light two days later when neighbours alerted authorities after noticing foul odour and silence from the house. When the Sigra police reached the spot on Friday morning, they found Danish’s blood-soaked body lying on a folding cot. There were deep wounds on his head, neck, face, and chest, with blood splattered across the walls.

Rubina initially tried to mislead the police by claiming that an intruder had killed her husband. However, during interrogation, she broke down and confessed. She told investigators that she had been physically and mentally harassed by Danish for years and had reached her breaking point. On the night of the murder, after being beaten once again, she waited for him to fall asleep, then struck him on the head with an iron rod before stabbing him multiple times.

Police stated that Rubina stayed beside the body along with her two children, aged 8 and 5, through the night. The next morning, she continued to act normally until neighbours raised suspicion.

Based on a complaint filed by Danish’s sister, Andaleeb Zahra, police registered a murder case and arrested Rubina. She has been produced in court and sent to judicial custody.

Danish, a government teacher at Faroog-e-Urdu Madrasa, lived on the ground floor with his wife and children, while his mother and two sisters occupied the upper floor. His elder brother is a doctor based in Chhattisgarh.

Police have confirmed that forensic evidence and Rubina’s confession corroborate the sequence of events.
