Bengaluru Techie Arrested for Murdering Ex-Lover, Faking Joint Suicide Over Marriage Plans

Murder

In a shocking incident, Bengaluru police have arrested 53-year-old tech professional Imdad Basha for allegedly poisoning his 45-year-old relative and ex-lover, Uzma Khan, to death.

The chilling details reveal that Basha orchestrated the murder out of jealousy after discovering Uzma’s plans to marry a Pakistani national working in Australia.

He attempted to disguise the crime as a joint suicide by consuming a non-lethal substance himself.

A Relationship Turned Tragic

Basha, a resident of Marathahalli's Spice Garden area, and Uzma, from Kacharakanahalli, were relatives who had been in a relationship following their respective divorces eight years ago.

Although their families had discussed marriage, the proposal fell through for personal reasons. Despite this, the pair stayed in touch, but tensions escalated when Basha discovered Uzma’s engagement plans.

December 31: The Final Interaction The events took a dark turn on December 31 when Basha sent Uzma photos of himself cooking in his flat. Uzma responded with a playful message, "That looks sizzling," and later visited him.

On January 1, Basha sent messages to relatives claiming that he and Uzma had consumed poison together in a suicide pact.

Relatives rushed to the scene, finding Uzma dead and Basha semi-conscious. He was immediately hospitalized.

A Chilling Cover-Up Uncovered

Initially, the incident was presumed to be a tragic case of mutual suicide. However, Uzma’s postmortem report revealed discrepancies, showing she had died hours before Basha sent the suicide messages from her phone.

Investigators soon uncovered that Basha had poisoned Uzma by mixing lethal chemicals in her food, while consuming non-lethal toilet cleaner himself to mislead authorities.

Further investigation revealed that Basha had installed monitoring software on Uzma’s phone, allowing him to spy on her activities and discover her engagement plans. This led to frequent arguments, ultimately driving him to commit the heinous act.

Charges and Investigation

A complaint filed by Uzma’s brother, Himayath Khan, detailed escalating tensions between the two. Police have arrested Basha on charges of murder, fraud, and criminal conspiracy. Investigators are also examining forensic evidence to confirm the exact cause of Uzma’s death and are exploring additional manipulative actions by Basha, including his control over her phone and social media.

A Shocking Betrayal

The case has sent shockwaves through the community, highlighting a tragic story of love turned toxic. As investigations continue, authorities are working to ensure justice for Uzma Khan and her grieving family.
