Hasnain who was a senior accountant working in Turbhe used to get almost a Rs 1 lakh salary a month and was expecting an appraisal also next month, which is one of the reasons that his friends and neighbours are finding it difficult to digest that financial problems could be a reason for the killings.
The residents of Thane woke up to one of the most horrific news about the murder of 14 members of one family in Kasarvadavali area on February 28.
35-year-old Hasnain Anwar Warekar killed his 14 family members and then hanged himself in their house in Kasarvadavali on Sunday around 2 am. While the neighbours and the relatives of the family are yet to recover from the shock, Kaif Rizwan Warekar (23), Hasnains' cousin in complete shock said, "Hasnain was a man with a golden heart, and used to love his family and live for them."
Hasnain who was a senior accountant working in Turbhe used to get almost a Rs 1 lakh salary a month and was expecting an appraisal also next month, which is one of the reasons that his friends and neighbours are finding it difficult to digest that financial problems could be a reason for the killings.
According to the DCP Zone 1, Sachin Ashok Patil of Thane, "Hasnain had slit the throats of the family members which included his four sisters, his wife and mother, father, and the children of the family, not sparing his own three month old daughter and five month old (sister's daughter) and then later killing himself."
One of the sisters, Suviya Sojhav Barmar who survived the attack has been admitted to Titan hospital in Thane for treatment.
The neighbours of the family, Mohammad Zain Mohammad Islam said, "The entire family was very decent and a happy go lucky family. Hasnain along with his sisters came to see us last night as he had invited the entire family for a get together, after he returned from the office."
"Suviya, the survivor was not coming for the dinner as her daughter was not keeping well. Hasnain drove to her in-laws place in Mahapoli at 8.30pm saying that he would drop her back next morning and they reached home at 10.30pm," added the neighbour.
Rizwan Warekar (uncle) said, "Around 3am, the neighbours came in to say that there is someone screaming from the house, so we rushed to the house and saw Suviya crying for help and shouting that the brother has killed everyone. So we immediately got her out of house and informed the police and then rushed to the Titan hospital with her."
Rizwan added, "Such things were never expected from Hasnain as from his childhood, he was very simple and a good person with a closed knit of friends. He used to go office, and offer namaz five times a day. A person who used to feel scared while seeing blood can never make such mistakes."
"Hasnain's father Anwar Warekar (65) was a hard working man who worked earlier with the Vera chemical company in Thane and now was the chief trustee of the Anant Nagar Dargah. He was also an estate agent. Anwar and I were close friends from childhood and he was very proud of his son Hasnain for his innocence and dedication towards his job and family. Hasnain as a child used to come to my place to play and we have seen him growing over all these years. His daughter was his life. It is very hard to believe that he has done this," expressed Rizwan Patel (56), friend of Hasnain’s father.
However, the police have not ruled out the angle of property dispute which might have provoked Hasnain commit such a crime, but the relatives of the family said, "It cannot be because of the property dispute. The family was very wealthy and Hasnain's love for his sisters was never ending," added Rizwan Warekar (uncle).
One more rumour doing the rounds is that almost two years back in a family get together; Hasnain had got energy drinks where he gave two tablespoons of energy drinks to the entire family. All the members present enjoyed the drinks and had little more of the drinks which caused some health problems because of which all of them were admitted to the Titan hospital, along with Hasnain.
The police has started the house search for further investigation and sent the food samples also for testing of which the reports are awaited.
