Riya and Asif had recently come to Munger from Kota. The police said Riya had left her home telling her mother, an auxuliary midwife nurse (ANM) in Munger, that she was going to meet Asif. When she did not return, her family started a search and found her and Asif dead.

Munger Deputy Inspector General of Police Manu Maharaj told The Sunday Express: “Both Riya and Asif were killed by Asif’s friend Danish after Danish and three of their friends tried to molest the girl. Danish had called Asif to meet, and Asif and Riya went together. Danish and three others… passed some objectionable remarks and tried to molest the girl.”

Festive offer

The DIG added that after Asif resisted the molestation bid, Danish took umbrage and strangulated the girl and later shot her dead. Danish later killed Asif as well, said the DIG.

Maharaj said there was no history of enmity between Asif and Danish, who had provided an illegal weapon to Asif.
