On May 18, 2016, Afghan construction contractor Naser left home to meet someone about collecting a debt and did not return. He was later found severely burned near the old Qom Road, and he reportedly identified a young Afghan couple from Baqerabad as responsible before dying from burns covering approximately 70% of his body. Investigators identified Aziz and Somayeh, an engaged couple preparing for marriage, arrested them on May 30, and reported that Somayeh confessed to complicity after Naser had allegedly proposed marriage to her and Aziz became suspicious and jealous. Aziz later reportedly admitted involvement. The source says Aziz received a qisas sentence and Somayeh a prison sentence, but states that the final verdict was not publicly available.

Arson and death of Naser in Tehran
Romantic Triangle
The reported conflict centered on a romantic triangle involving Naser, Somayeh, and Aziz. Naser allegedly moved from providing financial and household assistance to proposing marriage to Somayeh, who was preparing to marry Aziz. Hidden calls, a changed phone contact name, suspicion, family interference, threats, and an arranged confrontation reportedly preceded the fatal fire.
Police opened an arson investigation after Yaser reported that Naser had been deliberately burned. Naser reportedly gave Ahmad a limited identification of a young Afghan couple from Baqerabad before dying. Detectives located Naser's completely burned vehicle near Ahmad's kiosk, conducted field inquiries in Baqerabad, identified Aziz and Somayeh, and placed their residence under covert surveillance. Both were arrested at approximately 10:30 p.m. on May 30, 2016, when they returned for identity documents. The source reports Somayeh's confession, Aziz's subsequent admission, and reported sentences of qisas for Aziz and imprisonment for Somayeh. It also states that the final verdict was not publicly available and that the case status could not be independently confirmed from the source.
The investigation initially lacked identified suspects and relied mainly on Naser's limited statement to Ahmad. Ahmad was unsure whether Naser had reached the location himself or had been left there. Somayeh's account characterized Naser's proposal, the couple's relationship, and Aziz's actions from her perspective; the source does not provide an independent reconstruction of every disputed detail. The report also says that the final verdict was not published online, leaving the ultimate legal status uncertain.
Naser left home on May 18 to meet someone about collecting a debt and reportedly planned to attend a wedding with Yaser. His phone became unreachable from approximately 3 p.m. He was later found severely burned near the old Qom Road, where his vehicle was also found burned. Before dying, he reportedly identified a young Afghan couple from Baqerabad. Police learned that Aziz and Somayeh, who were preparing for marriage, had disappeared. According to Somayeh's reported confession, Naser had given her money and household goods, later proposed marriage, and continued contacting her; she concealed his identity from Aziz. Somayeh reportedly arranged a meeting in Kahrizak, where Aziz confronted Naser, used gasoline, and fled with Somayeh. The pair hid in Karaj and Varamin, then returned home for documents and cash, where police arrested them.
The source describes escalation from financial dependence and repeated unwanted or disputed romantic contact to concealment, jealousy, threats, direct confrontation, preparation with gasoline, and lethal violence. The account indicates elevated risk associated with a perceived romantic rival, family pressure, secrecy, and an impending marriage. Responsibility and the precise roles of each accused person should remain tied to the reported confessions, court outcome, and any available case records.
The source illustrates how financial assistance can become entangled with romantic expectations and perceived obligation. Important reported warning signs included concealed phone communication, a changed contact name, repeated calls, jealousy, threats, family pressure, and an impending confrontation involving gasoline. The case also shows the investigative value of a dying victim's limited statement, witness emergency reporting, vehicle identification, neighborhood inquiries, surveillance, and suspect behavior after the incident.
The most important reported early signals were Naser's repeated romantic insistence toward Somayeh, Somayeh's concealment of his calls under another contact name, Aziz's growing suspicion and jealousy, the reported threat that he would not calm down until he did something to Naser, and the presence of a gasoline container during the arranged meeting.
The main reported clues were Naser's statement to Ahmad identifying a young Afghan couple from Baqerabad, the burned vehicle registered to Naser, the couple's sudden disappearance, neighbors' reports that they had been preparing for marriage, surveillance of their residence, and their return to collect identity documents.
The strongest evidence described by the source included Naser's dying statement as relayed by Ahmad, Ahmad's eyewitness account of finding Naser and calling emergency services, the burned vehicle, police field inquiries, the arrests under surveillance, and the reported confessions by Somayeh and Aziz. The source does not describe forensic fire analysis, call-record evidence, or a publicly available final judgment.
Ahmad reportedly heard cries for help, found Naser almost completely burned near his newspaper kiosk, called emergency services, and heard Naser identify a young Afghan couple from Baqerabad. Yaser reported Naser's planned appointment, his unexplained absence, and the prolonged period during which Naser's phone was off. Neighbors reportedly said Aziz and Somayeh had disappeared shortly before their planned wedding.
The case initially involved unknown perpetrators in an arson attack. Naser's statement redirected the investigation toward a young Afghan couple from Baqerabad. Field inquiries then identified Aziz and Somayeh, and their reported confessions supplied a relationship-based account involving financial assistance, a marriage proposal, jealousy, confrontation, gasoline, and flight. The source provides no reliable public follow-up confirming the final judgment or execution of the reported sentences.
The source does not independently establish every detail of the confrontation, the exact sequence of the fire, or the extent of Somayeh's intentional participation. It is unclear whether Naser's proposal was legally or socially understood as coercive, whether the financial assistance was a loan or gift in the final legal record, what forensic evidence was recovered, and whether the reported initial sentences were ultimately confirmed or carried out.
