According to police, Shaikh entered the kitchen and confronted Roshanara. When she refused to speak to him, he allegedly abused her, pulled out a knife and stabbed her several times.
“He confronted the cook and when she refused to speak to him, he abused her and later removed a knife and stabbed her multiple times,” a police officer said. Shaikh subsequently allegedly attempted suicide as he stabbed himself as well, police said.
Yusuf’s family was present at the residence at the time and alerted the police control room upon realising the commotion. Roshanara was rushed to Saifee Hospital, while Shaikh was taken to JJ Hospital with serious injuries. Both are in critical condition, police said.
Police said they are yet to arrest Shaikh or recover the weapon because he remains hospitalised. They have registered a case against the accused under the relevant section of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita based on the complaint by the businessman’s daughter Farida Mufadul Yusuf, 20. Mufadul is a distributor of dry fruits and other imported products, police said.
