Three years after the horrific Nejar quadruple murder that shook coastal Karnataka, the trial continues in the Udupi District and Sessions Court. On November 12, 2023, Haseena (46) and her three children—Afnan (23), Aynaz (21), and Asim (12)—were fatally stabbed inside their residence in Tripti Layout, Nejar, while her mother-in-law, Hajira, narrowly survived critical injuries. Police swiftly arrested former Air India Express cabin crew member Praveen Arun Chougule, who allegedly targeted his colleague Aynaz out of personal animosity and killed the others when they intervened.
