India, Oct. 29 -- The death of Aqil Akhtar, son of former Punjab DGP Mohammed Mustafa and ex-minister Razia Sultana, not only landed the parents in a legal case but put the spotlight squarely on his wife, who faced a barrage of allegations in videos he left behind. She has now spoken out.

"They did not even let me grieve in peace," Zainab Akhtar, 34, told The Indian Express. "Politics did not let me do that too. I am facing allegations that I have a relationship with my father-in-law, who I have considered more than my father." she said.

She said she regrets that Aqil is being seen as a villain. "He was a great father. He loved us. The system failed him. We could not pull him out of the clutches of narcotics," Zainab said, as per IE.
