Today, read in 3 chapters of unheard of Dastan, the story that causes the shuddering of the murder of Influencer Feruz Azad-
Feruz Azad was born in 2003 in Iraq’s Irabal in Kurdistan Region. He also had an elder brother. Feruz was young when her parents divorced. The elder brother went with his father and Farus started living with her mother Naza Farhad. When she grew up, the mother married the Shaheen Canalo of Irbil. He also had a son from this marriage.
After early studies, from an early age, Farus was very fond of taking pictures and making videos. She often used to put her photos on social media platforms. Over time, his followers also started increasing and he started getting a lot of recognition in the city too.
As the ferruz was becoming popular, there was increasing tension in his house. By going viral, videos of Feruz also reached his biological father and brother. The staunch -minded father was not tolerated to make a video of the daughter. He contacted Feruz’s mother and clearly said that the daughter should be asked to delete her social media account.
However, Fruz lived life on his terms and he did not let his father’s displeasure come in the way of his work. In the Islamic country like Iraq, where there was strictness on the veil and there were many restrictions on women, in such a country it became a matter of discussion, wearing modern clothes and singing songs, making videos while singing, dancing.
However, apart from these social hurdles, Feruz became famous in Iraq. He was being counted in Iraq’s most popular influencer. In connection with the content creation, Feruz’s fellow Influenceer also started meeting.
It was on 18 November 2023, Fruz was invited to meet two fellow tickets stars. Fruz knew her well, so she went to meet her. He met in the housing apartment in Arbil. Shortly after, the content started arguing with both of those boys on content. During the debate, both boys forced them. Feruz was trying to escape from there, but due to the force of both of them, she could not do so.
Their quarrel grew so much that the two boys threw Fruz below the 5th floor balcony of the housing apartment. Still Fruz survived alive. When she fell, some people passing by immediately rushed her to the hospital. One of his legs broke, the spine and the waist fractured and there were many more injuries on the body.
A complaint was lodged against the two accused Influencer for attempting to murder. In this case, the police recorded the statement of Feruz in the hospital. Fruz told the police that he was raped before being thrown from the 5th floor. According to Feruz, both boys caught them during the debate. A boy raped him. The second boy also wanted to rape, but when he started screaming in the rescue, both of them threw them down from the building.
Both the influencers were arrested after Feruz’s statement. However, a few days later, the biological father of Feruz finished the case with 50 thousand dollars. As a result, both the accused were released.
Fruz was trying to overcome this accident, but he was not getting the support of the family. The father put pressure on his account and closed his account. It was only for some time that both the accused left the jail and started making content on Fruz. Those people were constantly posting videos, in which he was making many allegations against Fruz. These videos also became fiercely viral and started reaching Feruz’s father.
Due to the video going viral, people nearby also got to know about the rape and accident with the furoo and the family started being infamous.
It is April 17
In the morning, Fruz was sleeping on her bed, when 5 bullets were fired on her and their breath stopped. The firing people were none other than their father, brother and some close relatives.
Feruz’s mother said in a conversation with Bakhtiyar Qadir, reporter of Broadcasting channel Rudav, ‘I had arisen after hearing the sound of bullets. Those people killed him in bed. I saw them all. I was trying to stop them. A day earlier, Feruz’s father called him and threatened to kill him, as the boys throwing him from the building were posting content on the Feruz.
After his call came, we had called the accused boys and requested them to delete all the videos. We told him that these videos will kill him. We had also talked to the boys’ family about this, but they did not listen to us and today the Feruus was murdered.
At the same time, Feruz’s half-father Shaheen Kasab said, ‘This happened between 8:05-8:10 in the morning. She was sleeping, her biological father, uncle, brother and some cousin entered the house and started firing as soon as they came. We know those who are involved in this murder.
After the postmortem, Fruz’s body was handed over to his family. At the same time, 7 people were arrested on the charge of murder. Feruz’s mother believes that those people will be easily missed on the strength of power and money, just as the throwing of Feruz from the 5th floor.
