Argument Leading to Homicide over Parking Dispute Involving Huma Qureshi's Relative in New Delhi
In a shocking turn of events, Asif Qureshi, cousin of renowned Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi, was brutally murdered in Delhi's Nizamuddin area on the night of August 7, 2025. The incident took place near Asif's home at Jangpura Bhogal market lane, following a heated verbal altercation over a parking dispute[1][2][3].
The altercation ensued when Asif, who was involved in supplying non-vegetarian food, asked two men to move their scooter parked right outside his house's main entrance. The conversation escalated, leading to a violent attack where Asif was stabbed with a sharp pointed object, believed to be a poker, inflicting a deep injury to his chest[1][3][4].
Despite being rushed to the hospital, Asif, who was 42 years old, was declared dead upon arrival. The two accused in the case, brothers Ujjwal (19) and Gautam (18), have since been arrested and the murder weapon has been recovered[2][4].
Asif's family, including his father Saleem Qureshi, and witnesses have expressed their shock and demanded strict punishment for the perpetrators. The case has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for murder and acts done with common intention[4].
This unfortunate incident serves as a grim reminder of the potential consequences of minor disputes escalating, particularly in the context of parking conflicts in Delhi[4]. CCTV footage capturing moments before the murder has also surfaced, providing crucial evidence to the investigation[5].
Meanwhile, Huma Qureshi continues to make waves in the film industry. She is set to star in the third installment of the Jolly LLB franchise, directed by Subhash Kapoor, alongside Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, Amrita Rao, and other notable actors[6]. Additionally, Huma's upcoming project is a police procedural drama film titled Bayaan, written and directed by Bikas Ranjan Mishra[7]. Bayaan centers on Roohi, a female detective investigating her first case of a prominent cult leader facing anonymous accusations of sexual abuse[8].
