Earlier on November 15, in a disturbing incident, a seven-month pregnant woman was murdered by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law in Kotli Marlan village of Daska in Pakistan’s Punjab, ARY News reported.
A police official told ARY News that the mother-in-law, Sughra Bibi, along with her daughter Yasmeen, killed Zehra (26) and chopped the body into pieces, packed it in bags and dumped it in a canal.
ARY News reported that the victim’s mother-in-law cut off her limbs and the woman’s head to avoid identification and spread rumors that Zehra had eloped with someone.
Zehra, who hails from Gurjanwala’s village Kot Mand, was married to Qadeer of Kotli Marlan in 2020. The police have not yet been able to contact Qadeer, who works abroad. Daska police have registered a case of murder and other charges, ARY News reported.
