The only survivor in one of India’s most horrific criminal homicides, 22-year-old Subiya Bharmal revealed that her brother had two sides to him. To the rest of the world, he seemed normal but in the family, he would often act out with ‘misplaced resentment’.

He appeared calm, confident and caring when he was outside, but he behaved very differently in front of the family. He hated us [the sisters], and thought we were, in some way, conspiring against him. After my marriage, he asked me to stay away from our parents. Some people may think that he was not capable of committing these murders, but I am a witness to his brutality — he killed our mother right in front of me.

In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Subiya revealed that Hasnain Warekar had been sexually abusing their younger sister who was mentally ill. The family learned about this on 6 February, which, could be one of the motives behind the murder of the 14 family members.

He used to make our sister do all kinds of sexual acts. I was the first to learn about his disgusting behaviour and I complained to our mother on 6 February. I think he overheard our conversation.

Subiya, now recovering at Titan Hospital, doesn’t know yet that her baby was also one of the victims of Hasnain’s murderous reactions. She said that her brother believed that their parents loved the four daughters more, and so he would act-out on the family.

Subiya is also unaware that Hasnain committed suicide after slitting the throats of 14 members of his family that included eight children.

Hasnain Had Rs 67 Lakh in Debt

Hasnain had borrowed heavily from his relatives and was steeped in a huge debt of Rs 67 lakh, investigators probing the mass murder said on Saturday.

According to a senior police officer of Thane Police, Hasnain had borrowed around Rs 67 lakh from his close kin on various occasions under the pretext of doing business.

He was also into share trading and police is probing whether he suffered any losses in it, he said.

In addition, police have also learnt that he had taken a room on rent in the nearby Majiwada locality a few months before the killings but the purpose for which he made the move is a matter of investigation, the officer said on condition of anonymity.

Also, forensic reports are awaited only after which several details in the case can be confirmed, he said.
