In a shocking and tragic turn of events, Asif Qureshi, a cousin of Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi, was brutally killed during a violent altercation over a parking issue late Thursday night in Delhi’s Nizamuddin area, as reported by India Today.
The deadly incident unfolded around 11 p.m. in Jangpura Bhogal Lane, where Asif lived with his family. According to police, a heated argument broke out between Asif and a group of men over the parking of a two-wheeler in front of his home’s main gate. The dispute quickly escalated, and the attackers allegedly assaulted him with sharp-edged weapons.
Critically injured, Asif was rushed to the nearest hospital. Despite efforts to save him, doctors pronounced him dead upon arrival.
A Dispute That Turned Deadly
Family members say the argument wasn’t a one-off. Asif’s wife, Sainaz Qureshi, told police that tensions with the same neighbors had flared before, and it was always over the same issue: a scooter parked in front of their entrance.
On the night of the incident, Asif had just returned from work when he noticed the vehicle once again blocking access to his home. He asked the neighbors to move it. Instead of complying, they allegedly began hurling verbal abuse, and then launched a violent assault.
“It was over something so small… so senseless,” a relative said, struggling to hold back tears. “They didn’t just fight. They attacked him like animals.”
