Arif's family who lives in India are in shock. Mehnaz Fathima, wife of the deceased said, "He had called me on Saturday at 9 pm. He said that he will give back half an hour later, but he did not. I called him repeatedly until 11.30 pm. However, as he did not answer the calls, I called my sister-in-law. She in turn reached out to his friends in the locality. They enquired with the police and got to know that he was murdered."
