A young girl set on fire

Islamabad: A newly married woman was set on fire allegedly by her in-laws when she tried to go with
her mother after incessant physical torture by them.
The victim has been shifted to PIMS, where she is stated to be critical. Shazia Bibi, mother of the victim
Nazia Bibi, complained to the Sunbal Police Station, saying that she married her 20-year-old daughter
Nazia to Din Mohammad a year ago. Still, her husband and other in-laws created tension with her and
started physically torturing her.
“After repeated torture, Nazia contacted me and asked to take her home,” Shazia said adding that she
went to G-14 to take her daughter with her. Still, Amanullah, the younger brother of her daughter’s
husband, her father-in-law, and her husband set her on fire after sprinkling Kerosene oil on her body.
She was shifted to PIMS in critical condition, where doctors were trying to save her life.
In another incident, a young woman has gang raped by three wanderers at Kaliara Charah, falling in the
jurisdiction of Nelore Police Station.
The victim complained to the Nelore Police Station that she gave her mobile phone set to a mechanic,
Saqlain, for repair a few days back. She demanded her mobile phone, but he said that he had given away
her phone to Adnan.

However, he said that she could go with Adnan to get her phone, and Adnan took her to an under-
construction house in Jhangi Syedan where Saqlain was already present with another friend Azkar who
forcibly dragged her into a room of the house and gang raped her. The police have lodged a case against
the alleged rapists and initiated an investigation.
