There are reasons one would hire a contract killer from greed to revenge to hate. But this next story takes the cake for one losing his life over a frivolous motive.

Meharbaan Ali, a police sub-inspector learnt the hard way that forbidding his wife and 4 daughters from wearing jeans was a terrible move. And what was the hard way?

Yes. He is now with the angels or he has been re-incarnated depending on what you believe. Daya Chand Sharma, Inspector at Sadar Bazaar police station, said.

“Ever since the body of Ali was found, we suspected the involvement of family members, because the body was found just 250 metres from their house. We took out the call detail records of all the family members and found that Ali’s wife, Zahida, was regularly calling a number.”

The police then checked CCVT footage from cameras around the area and found that the murdered man had arrived home at around 10.45 am, after leaving the police station at 10.

It also showed two men identified as Tahseen and Ehsaan entering the home soon after. Later on, the five women can be seen assisting the two killers load Ali's body onto a motorcycle and then dump it in a nearby canal.

The women confessed that they paid the hit-men 146,000 shillings. The women also claimed that the motive for them killing Ali was that he was very strict with them, including the prohibition of them wearing jeans.

This whole story is sad but more than that, it shows poor execution by the perpetrators. Police take one of their own dying very seriously. If you are going to orchestrate something so diabolical, at least do it meticulously.

Not planning for the CCTV camera was a glaring ommision that would haunt the family. And it has.
