Suspected murder FIR lodged against hubby of woman who died in Saudia

Lucknow: An FIR alleging dowry harassment, prolonged cruelty, and the suspected murder of a young Lucknow woman in Saudi Arabia was registered at Chinhat police station in Lucknow, following a detailed complaint by her father, Sher Ali Khan.According to the FIR, the deceased, Aiman Khan, a BTech (Computer Science) graduate and software engineer, was married to Mohammad Aamir Khan of Rae Bareli, on April 10 last.
The complainant alleged that substantial dowry was given at the time of marriage at the insistence of the groom. The groom allegedly demanded an Innova car, but the complainant said he could only arrange the Kia Seltos. The FIR states that soon after marriage, Aamir expressed anger over the car not being transferred to his name and allegedly smashed Aiman's iPhone in a fit of rage. Once in Saudi Arabia, she was allegedly subjected to continuous mental and physical harassment by her husband, his brother Umair, and brothers-in-law Rashid and Mohammad Rafi. The accused allegedly abused, assaulted, and threatened Aiman, repeatedly pressuring her to bring Rs 20 lakh from her parental home. In Oct, Aiman returned to India alone and again narrated her ordeal. Following further talks and assurances from Aamir that no harm would come to her, she returned to Jeddah. The complaint alleges that after her return, the torture intensified. During a WhatsApp conversation on Dec 17, 2025, the complainant sensed that his daughter's condition was worsening. He claimed she was denied food, forced out of the house, and prevented from returning to India. On Dec 18, repeated calls to Aiman went unanswered. Calls to Aamir and Umair also failed. A family friend, Faizan, who resides in Saudi Arabia, was asked to visit the location. Faizan later informed the family that Aiman died and that local police were present at the scene. Sher Ali Khan alleged that, considering past cruelty and threats, he firmly believes his pregnant daughter was murdered in a pre-planned manner, strangled with her dupatta and hanged from a ceiling fan to make it appear as suicide. SHO, Chinhat, Dinesh Mishra, said a probe is being conducted.
