However, Salma did not pay Ahmad's salary dues of around Rs. 75000, she said in her statement. The woman said recently, her brother started his own business, and Salam was annoyed with him and threatened him, said a senior police officer.

''His family was repeatedly asking for payment of dues. Because of this Salma got annoyed and in a fit of rage, he reached at Ahmad’s house but couldn’t find him, so he stabbed his father Mohd. Israr,'' he added.
