Shahnaz Hussain seeks CBI probe into son’s death

Patna: Beauty expert Shahnaz Hussain on Tuesday sought a CBI probe into the death of her son earlier this year after he fell from an apartment under “mysterious” circumstances.

“My son was not suffering from depression and nor was he an alcoholic. He was a deeply religious person. I have requested the Chief Minister to entrust the case to the CBI,” she told reporters after meeting Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Sameer (34) died on January 6 this year after falling from the balcony of a third-floor flat owned by his father-in-law Mahfooz Ahmed at Maqbool apartments on Exhibition Road here.

Sameer was alone with his advocate father-in-law when the incident happened. “My son came to Patna on December 7, 2007 and was perfect and handling his work in Delhi from here regularly. He was not allowed to talk to me during the period. I want to know what led to his death,” Ms. Hussain said.

Asked whether she suspected the involvement of Sameer’s in-laws in his death, Ms. Hussain replied in the negative, but said, “as a mother I am entitled to know the reason of my son’s death.” — PTI
