More than 13 years after actress-model Laila Khan and her five family members were brutally killed and buried in a farmhouse at Igatpuri in Nashik district, a Mumbai court on Friday handed out capital punishment to her step-father Parvez Ahmad Tak, a resident of Jammu & Kashmir with alleged Lashkar-e-Taiba links.
Having held him guilty of killing his step-daughter and actress Laila Khan, her mother, three siblings, and a cousin sister in February 2011, Additional Sessions Judge S B Pawar awarded the death sentence to Tak on Friday. Tak was the third husband of Selina Patel, Laila's mother, and has been found guilty of the ghastly six murders, destruction of evidence, and other offences.
