During one of Iqbal’s visits, the two got acquainted with each other and exchanged numbers. They would often talk over the phone. One day, Iqbal asked the woman to visit him at his place under the pretext of work related to her clothes, where he allegedly forced her into getting intimate with him.
When the woman warned him that she would inform her husband, Iqbal said he had call recordings and threatened to destroy her family and ruin her reputation. The woman relented as she had children and did not want this to affect their lives.
“He blackmailed me into getting physical with him multiple times. I was tired of this. On Wednesday, Iqbal went to drop his wife at her parents’ home. I spoke to him while he was on his way back and told him I wanted to meet," the woman was quoted as saying in a statement.
She said Iqbal gave her two pills to put her husband to sleep. After she did so, the woman called Iqbal in the night. Iqbal asked her to come over to his house as he was alone. Fed up with his blackmailing, the woman had made up her mind to either kill him or die herself.
She told police that while they were talking at Iqbal’s house, he started getting intimate with her. “I held his hands apart and sat on his chest. Then I kept one hand on his mouth and choked him with the other," she said.
Once she made sure Iqbal was dead, she dumped his body on the staircase and returned home, saying she had no other choice as she wanted to protect her family, as per the police statement.
