Thirteen years after actor Laila Khan and five of her family members were murdered and buried in a pit at their Igatpuri farmhouse, a sessions court on Friday sentenced Parvez Tak, her mother’s third husband, to death.

On May 9, Judge Sachin Balvant Pawar pronounced Tak guilty of murder and destruction of evidence. Last week, public prosecutor Pankaj Chavan, referring to the case as the rarest of rare, advocated for the maximum penalty—the death sentence. Approximately 40 witnesses testified during the trial against Khan’s stepfather, Tak. The case originated after Khan, her mother Saleena, siblings Azmina, Imran, and Zara, along with another relative, Reshma Khan, disappeared from Mumbai in February 2011, prompting her father to file a missing persons report with the Oshiwara police.

Speculation arose when two MUVs registered to Khan were found in Jammu & Kashmir, suggesting she might be in that region. Another theory suggested she was in Dubai with her ‘husband’, Sonu. However, Tak, a road contractor from Kishtwar in J&K and Khan’s mother’s third husband, became the primary suspect after the discovery of the two MUVs. The murders allegedly occurred at the family’s Igatpuri farmhouse on February 8, 2011. In July 2012, the crime branch unearthed six skeletons from a pit at the farmhouse.
