Gurugram, 1 May – A Gurugram police team on Thursday arrested 31-year-old taxi driver Mustaq Ahmed for the November 2024 killing of his live-in partner in Nanda Nahar village, Uttarakhand, following a missing-person complaint filed by the victim’s sister.
A written complaint was lodged at Sector-5 Police Station, Gurugram, on 1 May by the sister of the 35-year-old woman, who had been reported missing. Investigating officers discovered that the missing woman had been cohabiting in a live-in relationship with Ahmed, a resident of Gori Kheda village in Udham Singh Nagar district, Uttarakhand.
Acting on intelligence, the Gurugram team traced Ahmed to Uttarakhand and arrested him. During interrogation, he confessed to stabbing the woman to death on 16 November 2024. He led police to the body, which was recovered wrapped in a bedsheet beneath a canal bridge in Nanda Nahar village. Murder charges were formally added to the original missing-person case, and Ahmed was taken into custody.
According to the police, the victim was a divorcee with two children, aged 17 and 14, from her first marriage. The couple met in 2022 when Ahmed drove her and her ailing mother to hospital. They moved to Gurugram later that year, where he worked as a taxi driver and she took up domestic chores. After two years together, tensions rose in October 2024 and both returned separately to Uttarakhand; both were subsequently evicted by Ahmed’s family following repeated quarrels.
On 15 November 2024, Ahmed reportedly stayed with his sister in Khatima, Udham Singh Nagar, bringing the victim along. The next day, he lured her to the Nanda Nahar canal, fatally stabbed her to “shake off” her marriage pressure, concealed the body, and went into hiding across Uttarakhand.
Ahmed is expected to be produced before the court for police custody remand as the investigation continues.
