Actor Huma Qureshi’s cousin Asif Qureshi was stabbed to death on Thursday night after an argument over parking of a vehicle in Delhi. Huma’s father, Saleem Qureshi spoke about the incident to the media and said that he demands strict punishment for the two accused.

Saleem gave details of the incident and said, “I was at home last night when I got a call saying someone had parked a scooter in front of the door. My nephew told them to move it aside so the entrance could be cleared. This led to a fight and an argument. There were two of them, and both together assaulted my nephew Asif, who was 42 years old.”

He added, “This led to a verbal altercation that turned physical. They were two, together they killed my nephew. I demand strict punishment for those responsible for the crime.” Saleem also said that Asif was in the business of supplying non-vegetarian food and was married to two women.

According to the police, the incident took place around 10.30 pm when Asif confronted a man for parking a scooter in front of his house.

The confrontation quickly escalated and Asif was allegedly attacked with a "poker-type" weapon, inflicting a deep wound in his chest.

Police said the victim collapsed at the spot and was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival.

A case under sections 103(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was registered at Hazrat Nizamuddin police station.

The accused have been identified as Ujjwal (19) and Gautam (18), both residents of the same locality. They live on the second floor of a building at Church Lane -- just a few houses away from the victim's residence, police said.

Both were taken into custody soon after the incident. Huma and her brother Saqib is yet to make a comment on the murder.
