Abdul Rehman and his sister Eman Tanvir had come to spend Eid holidays at their grandmother's house. They held a handwriting competition when their grandmother was not at home.

Eman teased her elder brother for having poor handwriting and it annoyed the boy who put a scarf around his sister's neck and allegedly strangled her to death.
