The victim was identified as Saadma, 20, said deputy commissioner of police (northeast) Rakesh Paweriya. Saadma got married to Mohammed Javed a year ago, and Javed’s elder brother Mohammed Zeeshan is married to Sadia, 21. Sadia did not approve of Saadma because she is allegedly from a low-income family, and the two women often fought, police said.

On Wednesday night, Zeeshan brought pizza for dinner and offered it to all the family members, but Sadia did not like that it was also offered to Saadma, police said. “She fought with Zeeshan over offering the pizza to Saadma and the fight escalated in which all the family members got involved,” an officer said.
