Salman Shaikh, a delivery boy for a food aggregator killed his girlfriend Nasrin, 22, who worked at a restaurant in Fort, because he suspected her of cheating on him. The police officers investigating the case said Salman had become obsessed with Nasrin in the three months since they started their relationship.

“Salman had called Nasrin on Saturday, but her phone was busy. Salman got so irritated by this that he assumed she was cheating on him.
