Step-father Sentenced to Death In Actor Laila Khan’s Murder Case

Mumbai: A sessions court in Mumbai on Friday rewarded death sentence to Parvez Tak in the 2011 murder of his step-daughter and actor Laila Khan, her mother and four siblings.

Additional sessions judge Sachin Pawar on May 9 had convicted Tak finding him guilty of murder and destruction of evidence, among other offences under the Indian Penal Code.

The quantum of his punishment was decided on Friday.

Tak was the third husband of Laila’s mother, Selina.

The Laila, her mother Selina and her four siblings were murdered at their bungalow at Igatpuri in Nashik district of Maharashtra in February 2011.

The killings came to light a few months later when the Jammu and Kashmir police arrested Tak. The decomposed bodies of the victims were recovered from the bungalow later.
