Nazreen, whose condition remains serious, was later referred to Delhi for advanced medical care. After receiving information, police and forensic teams rushed to the spot and began an in-depth investigation.

According to preliminary reports, Farman had earlier worked at a factory owned by Nazreen’s husband, Wasim, located inside the same house. He was reportedly dismissed from the job nearly two years ago. Police suspect that despite this, Farman continued to visit the house secretly, allegedly due to a romantic relationship with Nazreen.

Both injured individuals were taken to the hospital, where doctors declared Farman dead. Due to the woman’s deteriorating condition, she was later referred to Safdarjung Hospital for further treatment.

Police Investigating All Angles

Police have sealed the spot and forensic experts are collecting evidence to determine the exact cause of the fire. While the case is initially being linked to a love affair, authorities have not ruled out other possibilities such as suicide, accident, or a planned conspiracy.
