However, during the trial, the couple turned against each other. The 2015 Supreme Court judgment says that in her Section 313 statement, Shabnam said Saleem had entered the house with a knife through the roof and killed all her family members while she was asleep. Saleem, on the other hand, said he reached the house “only on the request of Shabnam” and that when he reached there, she confessed to having killed the others.
Shabnam along with her lover Saleem was convicted of killing seven members of her family in 2008. If executed, she will be the first woman in independent India to be hanged for a crime.
