The Push fans shocked by Kashif Anwar’s father’s “chilling” comment
Kashif Anwar’s father Mohammed is facing backlash after footage in The Push shows him complaining that the police hadn’t returned a £6,300 diamond engagement ring he bought for his son and Fawziyah Javed.
In an interview held at Edinburgh High Court during the murder trial, Mohammed, who continually defends Anwar, says: “When Kashif got engaged, she said, ‘Kashif I want a diamond ring.’ You know how much that cost me? £6,300. I haven’t got it back yet from the police.”
The comment has left viewers shocked, with one writing on X: “What Kashif Anwar’s dad said in the documentary was chilling. A woman was murdered and his son in the dock for killing her, and he’s talking about how much a ring cost and criticizing police for not returning it. Psychopath. No wonder his son turned out to be a devil.”
“One of the most astonishing things, the lad accused – his dad who’s lost his daughter-in-law complaining the old bill still got the six grand engagement ring he paid for. All he was bothered about,” said another.
“Can’t believe that the only thing Kashif Anwar’s father cared about was getting Fawzia’s engagement ring back after her death. Such a harrowing story” added a third, to which a fourth replied, “Agree. And surely in law it would belong to Fawziyah and her family anyway.”
A fifth chimed in: “Watched The Push and completely drained, Fawziyah’s poor family were so dignified and stoic throughout. As for Anwar’s father, moaning about an engagement ring… no words.”
