Aamir Khan is saddened by the murder of labourer Abdul Hakim, who spoke against khap panchayats at the superstar’s show “Satyamev Jayate” earlier this year.
Hakim’s wife Mahvish Monday alleged that her family was behind the murder of her husband, who was killed late Saturday in Bulandshahr. Hakim had married Mahvish despite resistance from their families.
Mahvish claimed that ever because the couple married in court two years ago, their families have been baying for the couple’s blood. The couple had appeared Aamir’s show “Satyamev Jayate” and spoke against “honour killings”.
“I felt really sad after I got to grasp that Abdul was attacked and killed. My whole team (of ‘Satyamev Jayate’) is feeling sad about it. Though their story was not shown intimately on our show, we had seen the worry that they lived with,” Aamir told NDTV.
He said he has talked to police in regards to the safety of Abdul’s wife and daughter and they have assured strict action against the culprits.
“I have met the SP of Meerut. After I went to Lucknow, I had a chat with their DIG. Both have assured me that strict action may be taken against people who find themselves chargeable for it,” he added. – IANS
