A sensational case has emerged from the Shahbad Dairy area of Delhi, where a 22 year old married woman was found dead under highly suspicious circumstances. The deceased, identified as Sabila Khatun, was discovered in the bathroom of her residence in Prahladpur Bangar village, while the incident came to light on August 29 2026, when the police were formally notified about the grim discovery. Adding to the mystery of the case, the woman's husband and their young child have been reported missing since the body was found, leading to intense police scrutiny and a manhunt for the husband.
Discovery of the Body and Initial Reports
The body of Sabila Khatun, wife of Mohammad Lalbabu, was first seen by her brother, Mohammad Gulab, while according to the statement provided by the complainant, Mohammad Gulab, he reached his sister's house in Prahladpur Bangar only to find her lifeless body lying in the bathroom. The sight was shocking as there was no immediate explanation for her sudden demise. Sabila had been married to Mohammad Lalbabu for approximately 2 years, and the couple had been residing in the Prahladpur Bangar locality. At the time the body was discovered, Mohammad Lalbabu and the couple's small child were nowhere to be found in the house, which immediately raised suspicions regarding their involvement or sudden disappearance.
Police Action and Legal Proceedings
Upon receiving the information, the Delhi Police reached the spot and took custody of the body. The remains have been sent to the mortuary of BSA Hospital for a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death. In response to the complaint filed by Mohammad Gulab, the Delhi Police at the Shahbad Dairy police station have registered an FIR. The case has been filed under FIR number 561/26, invoking Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which pertains to murder. Multiple police teams have been formed to conduct raids and search for the absconding husband, Mohammad Lalbabu, who remains the primary person of interest in this investigation.
Investigation from Multiple Angles
The police have stated that they're investigating the suspicious death of Sabila Khatun from various angles. The authorities have emphasized that no one found guilty in this case will be spared and will face strict legal punishment, while this incident has brought back memories of a recent case solved by the Delhi Police in Kalindi Kunj. In that particular case, a father was found to be the murderer of his own son, having committed the crime with an accomplice. That case had come to light on August 23 when a body was recovered from an abandoned container near a colony in Kalindi Kunj. The police are drawing on their experience from such complex cases to ensure that the truth behind Sabila Khatun's death is revealed and the missing husband and child are located as soon as possible.
