The father of the teen strangled in her home on Sunday said they didn’t even realise she had been murdered. “He came over to the house, killed my daughter, and left. We didn’t know what had happened until the police arrived,” he said. On Sunday (June 30), Zaib Khawaja Hussain Solkar, 22, entered the 18-year-old’s house in Andheri and allegedly killed her when she and her family members were asleep. According to the Sahar police, Solkar and the victim were friends and she had allegedly decided to end the friendship. Solkar couldn’t handle the rejection and hence decided to kill her. However, the victim’s father has refuted these claims.
