Laila Khan murder case: Stepfather convicted after 13 years of trial for killing the actress

After a lengthy legal process, Parvez Tak has been found guilty by a Mumbai court for the heinous murders of actor Laila Khan and her family. The tragic events occurred in February 2011, with Tak convicted on charges of murder and destruction of evidence. The court’s decision comes 14 years after the crime, shedding light on a case marked by familial disputes and alleged motives tied to property disputes and perceived mistreatment. Parvez was in the custody of police by now and has been found guilty after a long trial.

Tak, who was Laila Khan’s stepfather, reportedly harboured resentment towards his wife and her family, feeling marginalised and fearing abandonment. The prosecution argued that Tak’s actions stemmed from a dispute over property and the actress’s mother Shelina Khan’s supposed closeness with her ex-husband.

The killings came to light a few months later when Tak was arrested by the Jammu and Kashmir police as he had some criminal cases.

The victims’ decomposed bodies were discovered months later, buried on a farmhouse property belonging to Khan’s family, with Tak ultimately leading authorities to the remains. The remains of the body were found in the backyard of the Igatpuri farmhouse of the family. Through DNA tests the bodies were identified to be fo Laila, her mother Shelin and other 4 members of her family.

Throughout the trial, Tak maintained his innocence, alleging discrepancies in the police investigation and disputing key pieces of evidence. The court’s forthcoming sentencing will provide further insight into its decision, shedding light on the intricacies of the case and the factors leading to Tak’s conviction. This verdict, while providing closure to a long-standing legal battle, serves as a sobering reminder of the complexities and consequences of domestic disputes turned deadly.

Laila Khan was seen in a movie with later actor Rajesh Khanna in ‘Wafa: A Deadly Love Story’. The film directed by Rakhi Sawant and her brother Rakesh Sawant.
