What was the game of deception behind the mysterious death of Bhopal model Khushboo Ahirwar? Family claims-loving Qasim pretended to be ‘Rahul’ and made love under false identity, then pressurized him for religious conversion. Was it suicide or a planned conspiracy?
New Delhi. The suspicious death of Khushboo Ahirwar, a rising model from Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, has shaken the entire Madhya Pradesh. The family alleges that her lover Qasim Ahmed deceived her by revealing his identity as ‘Rahul’, then pressurized her for religious conversion and marriage. The police have arrested Qasim, but the question remains — was Khushboo’s death an accident or part of a planned conspiracy?
Who was ‘Rahul’ who later turned out to be Qasim?
According to Khushboo’s sister Tara Bai, she came to Bhopal in the year 2022 for studies and modeling. There he befriended a young man who called himself ‘Rahul’. A few months later, when Khushboo came to know his real identity as Qasim Ahmed, the direction of the relationship changed. The family claims that Qasim started pressurizing her to convert to Islam and marry him. When Khushboo refused, a series of beatings and abuses began.
Last call: “He is forcibly taking me to Ujjain”
