Based on the initial questioning of Urfi Zia, he said that Zia got married to Himu’s cousin in 2014 and within a few days their marriage broke up. Himu met Zia through family relations. Himu and Jia were in regular contact despite Jia’s breakup with Himu’s cousin.
Himu got married in 2000 and divorced in 2005. Later, a man named Tawfiq became a good friend of Himu. They had a good relationship. However, Taufiq committed suicide in 2017-18, after which Himu broke down mentally. Since then, Himu had a good relationship with Zia.

During interrogation, Zia said that Zia went to Himu’s Uttara house at 3:30 pm on Thursday. Later Himu and Zia had an argument over issues including online gambling and Himu broke up. Himu Bagbitanda at one stage brought a ladder from outside the room and entered the room. He told her that she would commit suicide by hanging herself with a plastic rope already tied to the ceiling fan of the room.
However, Ziauddin RAB said that Himu said that he would commit suicide 3-4 times before, but he did not commit suicide later. This time too, like before, when told about committing suicide, he did not give importance to the matter. But after a while he saw that Himu had really leaked. He then tries to bring Himu down but fails.
At this time, Zia called Himu’s makeup artist Mihir who was in the next room. Later, Mihir brought a bow from the kitchen and cut the rope and lowered him down.
Later, with the help of Zia, house janitor and Mihir, Himu was taken from home to a hospital in Uttara of the capital, where the doctor declared Himu dead. Jia ran away with Himu’s two mobiles and Himu’s car when the doctor said to call the police as a suicide case.
