"The cellphone call details of the Imam and Dar's wife were analyzed and it was noticed that the Imam had been in constant touch with her during odd hours of the night for long time," he said.

"The Imam was put to sustained questioning and confessed that he had developed illicit relations with Dar's wife and Dar was a hindrance in their relations," said Bukhari, adding Naik took Dar to the Cement Bridge in Qamarwari and asked him to close his eyes and recite verses of the holy Quran.

As Dar did this, Naik pushed him from behind, making him fall in the river and drown, he added.
